Default 10/20, short donk, blah blah line check

Villain is 40/20/1.5 over 300 hands, don't know much about him besides that and that he is not a regular. Also he has 35bb so hes probably a donk.

Folds to villain in SB who raises to $60, Hero calls in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Villain bets $80, Hero raises to $260 obviously planning to call a shove (which would be $380 more)

Thoughts - unless I plan to fold somewhere in the hand (which certainly could be considered on later streets) then by calling down 3 streets I would be putting in his stack anyways. I'm much more likely to get the money in good/flipping now, hopefully with lots of hands like T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]X. So is this super standard?

i would usually just call flop. then you can try to get the money in with a big lead if the turn is not a flush card, and if it is you might still win a showdown by checking.

its only 35bb, getting him to fold a diamond or a pair+diamond is a pretty good outcome. i think its mainly good for fe.

I'm fine with it. I think he will stack off too easily based off his stats.

Do people prefer this line or calling flop and shoving over a bet on blank turns?

i still flat the flop w/ his stack size. i don't hate getting it in now but feel like he's a bit too deep for my liking.
