Hero is BTN (450), sb (200~), MP(500), bb(125)
MP limps, Hero raises 15 otb with kk, sb, bb and mp call.
7 4 2
MP (mid 40s hick) has been one of the better players at the table, but he donks, and tripple barrels way too much with almost anything it seems.
SB (late 20s ) has been at the table maybe an hour or so, stacked with aj a85 7 vs mp player barreling off who knows what. He has probably been the best player at the table, but still sucks, playing roughly 30vpip/pfr15 id say.
MP donks 20, Hero Raises 100$, SB AllIN(100$~ More), BB & MP Folds, Hero calls crying.
I know overpairs arent the nuts but vs MP's donking range they are, should I have flatted or what?

I think I like the raise because MP donked 1/3rd pot. With you calling the players behind you will be offered at least 5-1 odds. I know it's a dry board, but I don't think I want to give that price to everyone. Now if MP donked more then I would like flatting more.

Is the board rainbow?
Raise more Pre. As played, you don't have to raise so much on such a dry board, I think $65-$85 will do the trick. Once the SB shoves, you don't really have much choice but to call.

flop raise is too big. 70ish seems better. definitely don't flat because you're losing a ton of value against MP's worse hands that call.

Pre is fine, flop would be okay if he was a drooler and never folding 88+/7x/56 or whatever else he could have, but I prefer to go $75; harder to rep bluffs with this sizing and I think he peels $75 more often than $100 and we can shove turn.
