I hate it.

If he's shoving you have 8 outs and a re-draw to deal w/

I'd call his c/r and go from there

I hate this also. If he shoves and you call and subsequently lose you will put it down to 'LAG play to either win or go out quickly'. I don't think it is a reasoned play which fits with his range (which you of course don't know).

I don't even mind folding as calling means you're probably facing a psb on the turn which makes you fold. I call though and re-evaluate a hopefully cheap turn bet.

Even as 2+2's resident Donk, I'd have to disagree with the move.

he folded.

ok, the move was prolly not a good idea then. my reasoning was that I took a chance to double or bust early (not taking this approach normally) with a high-risk play + that he will often have a hard time continue without JJ+ after my flop 3-bet.

I would fold preflop.

To the flop raise, I don't mind a smaller reraise and fold to a 4-bet. Flat calling is also fine. I wouldn't fold to the raise.
