MUCH rather cap the flop and lead the turn than call and donk. When you cap the flop he will often call down with any UI big cards he got stupid with on the flop (cuz some ppl can only have a flushdraw or two pair when they cap the flop here). He will also sometimes continue to get wild with a draw himself hoping to god that you are on a draw too, so be prepared to showdown.

Of course if all of this makes you uneasy then just calling down from the flop 3-bet is ok too.

Problem with calling 3b and donking is that you no longer rep anything but a weak made hand or a dumbly played draw so you'll see some fsdr's and other stuff you don't wanna see. This is why b/3b with a 6 can be a sweet play here.

So there are two ways to profitably play this hand: call his 3 bet and c/c turn and river. Or cap flop bet turn and river. If he raises turn, you go c/c river. If he calls turn, you bet river. Am I right? You meant that? Which line is better in the long run?

yeah that's basically what i was saying (except i'd wait and see what the turn+river bring before I decide what I'm doing on the river).

I think you should have both plays in your arsenal and tend towards the passive one until you get a read that the aggro one might be appropriate.

im really not all that good so if somebody better than me feels like posting...
