Just fold this preflop. Why are you trying to steal from a 46/21? He's going to call you and your going to be looking at a flop most likely holding 5 high or bottom pair.

Hmm. I'm not used to seeing donkbets that big.

I probably just call, to be honest, with the plan of making a decision if Villain bets big again on the turn. (If he pots it again, I think the decision would be close. It would be an easy call if we knew your outs were all clean, but we don't.) I agree that you have a pretty big draw overall, but both of those draws are to far less than the nuts.

My guess is that Villain has a strong hand but is not thrilled about how draw-heavy the board is. But it's not impossible, of course, for him to have a big draw of his own.

Fold preflop. He's not folding. No need to steal in this situation.

As far as having a "big draw," you do, but it's not very powerful. A 4 gives you a transparent straight and a 9 gives you the dummy end of the 4 straight on the board.

As played, I think I fold the flop. You could potentially face bigger bets on the later streets. (He did bet the pot on the flop after all.)
