Anyway, if you want him to improve your equity by raising, doesn't that assume that you think there's a substantial chance you're ahead even when our weak, non-aggressive villain raises?
[/ QUOTE ]No. Often his raise will increase your equity while increasing his more.
There are five players in the pot. If your equity is 25% and his is 35%, and his raise gets everyone else to fold, your equity may now be 40% while his has increased to 60%. Sometimes it's worth it even when you know you're behind.
However, that's theory. I don't think this particular hand is a good example because your implied odds of getting paid off by five players if you boat up trump your slight equity improvement if he raises.
Also, as fishyak enumerated, I think your chances of BB raising if you donk the turn are very very small. Put on a nice plaid skirt, hope the river is a non-heart King (or 9, obv.), and call down.
