Default Re: KTs gets donked

Ok, my thoughts. Normally i'd much rather call a donk on lower board ie. T 7 2 or J 7 4 whatever. As it seems villain is decent, the noted boards are generally better for donking with small pairs IMHO as it hits less of PFR's range, and I often do same with sets to balance this strategy. However donking into a K93 rainbow board is much different. I think a fold on flop isn't unreasonable, however I wasn't thinking this deep during the hand, so I call, meh maybe he has T9s or 98s or such.

I was also hoping for comment on the smallish Turn raise. In NL, shouldn't one know before betting if it's for value or bluffing. Clearly not for value here, so bluffing I guess. Since we were both deep, I wanted a raise size that was still signifcant but not too large to make it seem like I wanted a call, and not loose as much vs a reraise. However in retrospect i gave villain odds to call $18 into a $64 pot. arggg! His bet size peeked my thought that he could be weak, but if I decide I'm bluffing should I have raised more?
