I raise up his flop donkminbet to a bit more than what I would have c-bet if he had checked (ie. about 150-180).

As played, I think your line is good.

i dont know that I'd raise the flop. Hero's 2PTK with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is certainly enough to continue against the donk bet, but after i raise PF and someone mini-leads into me on that board, I think it is a very reasonable possibility that they may be donk betting a hand that they will take to the felt (including all of the hands in their range that beat you and/or leave you thin). very often i see early street donk betting with a big hand so they can try and blast you on a later street. id try to manage the pot without concern of too many scare cards in position on the flop. Its early, your hand is kinda meh atm (with potential), i want to reach cheap showdown, im in position.


on the turn, id have trouble not stacking off.

I would have pushed on the turn. You have most of villains possible hands beaten. You have to push on the river. There are too many chips in the pot to pass up. Calling leaves you in pretty bad shape.

Sorry, I misread the hand, I would just shove over opp's minraise on the turn.
