You realize, I hope, that this Villain isn't solid.

Given that, you're showing down, and I think your line is all right.

Against a more solid player, it's a tough situation. You'd probably be beat on the flop, but there would be the question of whether or not you could push him off of a better pocket pair. (And also the question of whether he happened to have KQ or a lower pocket pair than yours.)

What I would probably do is just check-call down and take my lumps. If there were just one ace on the flop, against a solid player, I guess I would probably either check-fold the flop or check-call the flop with the plan of check-folding the turn UI if Villain bet again.

However, versus your actual opponent, I think getting your hand to showdown is a good idea. If I was going to give a little action first, I would probably begin with a flop checkraise (as opposed to a flop lead).

Against this player I am just c/c'ing down. He will bluff all 3 streets for you.

Your flop donk makes no sense what so ever. He will raise his better hands and just call the worse hands that would have made a bet anyway.

Ágainst a good player I will c/f the flop

I think what Oink and Nick have said are pretty good advice. I used to donkalot in situations like these and I quit doing it after I got some coaching. Generally, you don't want to take the initiative away from a player with a donk, a c/r is better. (Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm on a big downswing, my confidence is shot, and I think that I play horribly). Also, if there's no hand converter, just write out the hand and leave off the screen names of the other players.

This guy seems too tight to be getting aggressive with after he raises your early position raise so I would probably fold the flop. Your donk bet makes no sense. I think you got value bet on the river by JJ.

He is 60/25 or whatever right? How is that ever to tight for Hero to call down??

EDIT: So he is 60/13. Still, I think its a big mistake to assume that his 3-bet range consist of the top hands. I would expect to see crap like 55 or Q7o way more often than KK in this spot. Dont give unreasonable players credit for reasonable plays.

The only thing unreasonable about him is that he doesn't know what he's doing. Unless I had a read that he makes random raises with junk, he's a tight raiser and is probably not raising much less than KQs here. So, basically you beat KQ and 88 on the flop.
