Re: 66- A hand in which I begin to suspect I suck at the pokers

if you want you can call the flop raise and then donk all non-A, non club turns. i wouldnt check a turn blank.

Agreed. I would never check a blank turn in this spot either. The call/donk occurred to me at the time. I don't like it because I think I'm ahead often enough here that I want to charge the extra small bet to the flush draw and/or overs. The flush draw is calling, and not raising, a blank turn anyway so I get that bet regardless. My big concern is not being able to protect my hand. On the upshot, however, I do get the extra BB of value.
My read is that he slowplays big hands a lot. When he raises the flop I feel that it makes a 5 unlikely and of course I can completely rule that out with the just call on the turn. However, given his preflop looseness, I think that he could easily have a 7 or 8 in his hand and he will call. He would also play 44 this way, but he might not call the river with it.
