Default NL25 Donk bet vs flush draw

How do you play this hand ?
Vilain is unknow.

I never know what to do when i raise preflop, i flop a flush draw, and the vilain donk a tiny bet, i don't know if i should raise to try to take the pot right and risk a reraise, or take the odds for my draw and maybe stack him if i hit and if he flop a monster.

raise the flop, you almost never have &lt;36% equity and its very hard for him to continue profitably with a wide range of hands so you gain a lot of fold equity right there.

it also adds deception to your game, its a lot harder for him to put you on a flushdraw if you play your hand fast.

I'd raise this. You also have an overcard and a backdoor straight draw. He could easily be betting into you just hoping to pick up this raised pot.

check, without a read its best to assume you haven't got enough fold equity to fire this turn, your equity also shrinks quite a lot after he calls your flop bet and the turn blanks.
