In my experience a small donk bet on 2nl means a weak to middlish hand, so I made a small raise on both streets where he donked small.

I like the play and sizing on both streets but think we should be folding to turn Jam

I think the flop raise is good against a not-even-1/3rd-pot donk, but I think calling is a little better if he bets closer to pot here.

I also raise the turn because a fish can have a lot of Kx's in his range that should but won't fold to a raise. Maybe some Jx's, too. It's a little close imo -- I'm probably just calling something like KT, but AA is a little higher up in our range and doesn't block any of his Kx's.

We can fold to the turn shove. We can call, like, KK, JJ, 77, KJ, K7s, so I don't feel too bad folding my AA, AK, KQ range here.
