this is standard? feels soo weak but this is the play right?
any call /raise by me commits us and the only thing i beat here is hearts and JJ TT? guess what im asking is how much of his range is an ace in this spot?

With no reads, I play it the same.

yeah, standard fold

rarely does he have a strong hand here, since everyone and their mother check raises with strong hands. raising a donk bet has a high chance of success (though i'd prefer it on a non- drawy, non-A flop, and in a non 3-bet pot). but experiment a little with raising these donk bets and see what works. alot of this game is trial and error and logic (instead of math).

I normally do but in this spot do I have any FE?
or how often do I have the best hand? often enough to push here which I think is my noly option if I continue with the hand.
