Default What to do w/top pair good kicker facing turn donk bet?

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $229.00
BB: $77.45
UTG: $263.20
MP: $48.70
CO: $432.95
Hero (BTN): $200.00

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 Players)
2 folds, CO calls $2.00, <font color="red">Hero raises to $9.00</font>, 2 folds, CO calls $7.00

Flop: ($21) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $15.00</font>, CO calls $15.00

Turn: ($51) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">CO bets $22.00</font>, Hero ??

his stats are 37/10/0.53 over 170 hands. the turn bet seemed kind of suspicious. I thought he might have just turned 2 pair or he was just check/calling w/AK on the flop. what should I do here?

I see donks bet like this with draws all the time but i also see them do it when they have a big hand. Rather than call the turn and then a river bet i prefer to minraise him on the turn and then check behind on the river. If he leads the river with almost any reasonable bet size and your hand hasn't improved then i think you gotta lay down.

id call and reevaluate the river. his bet looks kinda like a blocker, but i think its more important to get to showdown than to charge him if he has a weaker hand.

of course he may have us beat, since fish often make small bets with big hands, so calling here also lets us save money in that scenario. position really helps us control the size of the pot in spots like these.
