I definitely messed up the flop (I hate my flat call), but I was hoping the turn would clear things up. There's really no threat of any draw besides the SD, so if he's protecting anything, it's a TPTK/2pair/set. However, he leads out for such a small amount that he'd be giving ME odds to call if I was a draw. The guy is a bit of a donkey, so I didn't want to immediately put him on a straight. When donks lead into you for a small amount, they're usually on a draw. I think 90% of the time, if a donk flops the nut straight, he slowplays it, especially considering my PF aggression.

But, when I come back with a raise, he 3bets me for a fairly small amount. This is where I get completely lost, and decide to call and reevaluate on the turn.

Turn is a blank, but he shoves. WTF? This looks like a set or straight at this point, but it could very well be something like J9s/Q9s. What do I do?
