Well if he is a bad and loose player it's obv were going broke here. I asume stack a donk is referring to the line you took (I am a noob when it comes to knowing all the terminology used on 2+2). I am definetly rr this flop here to charge villain the most if he has a draw. It's not like he will be scared and fold a hand like KJ. I hate calling and have the turn come an 8,9,t,5,3 or club.

If the answer to the three questions below are "yes", then go right ahead.

1) Does he raise the flop with TPTK or less?

2) Will he go broke with top pair when I shove the turn?

3) Does he always play his flush draws and OESDs passively on the flop?

Sean, in order for me to answer your questions, I'd probaly have to spend a couple of years playing with the villain. All I had were his loose stats and I noticed that he was pretty bad postflop.

I make this kind of stop-and-go/stack-a-donk kind of play a lot on donks. I think you played this fine as long as you are confident he isn't raising a flush draw.

If you don't have at least approximate answers to these questions, then the desire to stack-a-donk with just an overpair on this kind of board is a primary symptom of Fancy Play Syndrome. Bet/3-Bet AI is better here if we have insufficient info on villain.

The problem is that bet/3-bet is bad because he is going to just raise the turn with a worst hand (he would have raised the flop if he wanted to play for stacks with his hand). So you are only hoping that a turn bet induces a bluff raise, which seems unlikely. I'm more inclined to bet/fold the turn here, and probably block a bad river, and check/call to induce a bluff on a blank river.

Not a huge fan of giving a free card on such a drawy board to be honest. I lead for $4 on the flop to charge draws, probably 3bet if he minraises me, and if I don't 3bet I'm probably going to donk the turn.

If you know he's going to bet ATC when you check to him on the turn I guess this is OK, but minraises on drawy flops are often people trying to get free cards with draws.
