I can pass here. You don't beat much here and more often than not behind a bigger over-pair. God knows what the BB has as well.

I'd fold here. Another line I would take would be to check-call the flop, and then check - fold the turn. This lets you get past the flop cheap, and if he bets the turn, you're pretty sure you're behind.

Fold. Sometimes they do this with big aces, but I think you are going to be shown a bigger pair or AhK-Jh way more often.

I think you can only donk this flop if you are going to fold to a push.
