If he's an unknown to you, yes I would.

For me there are basically 2 possibilities for that donkbet:
a) He thinks his Q might be good and wants to control the size of the pot himself.
b) He wants to induce a raise, feeling confident about his J.

Calling might minimize your loss. After all, if you push and are facing an all-in (people like to do that with trips/set), you're screwed [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think if he checks on the river, you can valuebet your Aces, because he might fear a J himself then.

But that's why I hate donkbets myself [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My 2 cents as a noobie

Call, and call a bet on the river as well, or valuebet it if checked to.
