Game: 1/3 1k cap match stack. Plays like a loose passive 5/10. Moments of odd aggression, especially later into the night. This had took place around midnight on a week night, so fairly late.
Effective Stack: $785 (v1. v2 covers v1 and hero covers table with about $2k)
Hero: Has image between TAG and LAG. Will make some big bluffs, but not spewy.
V1: not a maniac, but likes to gamble. Hero has very little history, but has seen V1 play big hands more "trappy" than outright aggressive. But sample size is small, so.....yay for live reads that mostly don't mean much.
V2: loves to play PLO and sees most flops, regardless of amount
Hero is BTN and straddles to $10 (max allowable button straddle) with AdKd
5 limps
Pot: $60
Hero raises to $110. V1 calls V2 calls (V1 is LJ and V2 is HJ, so they were in late enough position there was already money in pot for them to raise. They weren't in EP and trying to limp/raise QQ+)
Pot: $360
Flop: 6c 4s 2h
V1: donks $200
V2: fold
Hero: ???
What donks this flop? Something like 88-JJ who just wanted to wait for a low flop? A3s flopped open ended and try to just take it down??
With the limited info on v1, I'd like to think he c/r a set. But not really sure. It's just a very odd donk IMO.

I don't find this very odd at all. This is a guy who limped then called a 11x iso for ~15% of his stack oop, obviously a fish. I guess he figured that you missed this flop quite often, he had a pair so he bet to find out where he was. The problem is that you have just a little more than hp behind, so you're unlikely to make him fold and you don't have the odds to continue. The best draw out there is a gs+bdfd which isn't something fish play aggressively, so I don't see you being ahead. I'd fold, these plays will result in him losing his stack very soon, but now you can't do anything about it.

You say this is odd but a hand like 65 is gonna love this flop and probably stack off given price he set himself up for. I’d just fold.

Super common fish line and easy fold for you. He has a pair. You don’t have a pair. Any additional action in this hand is for stacks. You don’t want to play for stacks when he told you he has a pair and you don’t have a pair.

Lousy flop; easy fold. No point in continuing -- even if we hit an A or K, we might be dead, and basically no FE (although that's an assumption).
