my first plan was to c/r a late position bet.

I like this, too bad it didn't work out that way.

when that didn't work, my new plan was to coldcall and donk a safe turn.

The same thing that makes your first plan sexy, makes this plan retarded. You're hoping for the TAG to bet what appears to be an orphan pot so that you can face the loose-weak-passive players with two and get them to fold, but the way it worked out YOU'RE the one facing two and without a whole lot of equity on a multi-coordinated board in a family pot. Fold.

As played, c/f the turn. Loose-weak players don't bluff-donk scare cards.

(The other option on the flop is to go ahead and c/r, anyway, if you think the TAG is pumping a draw. If esther is really weak, she's going to decide that somebody else's draw is better than hers and fold. I want to be pretty solid in my reads, tho.)
