Villain's been limping a fairly wide range, he's like 26/6 (and note donk stack).

Do we take a free card on the flop or try to get some money in the pot/tid. How about turn?

2+2 is very results oriented, so yes

And fwiw, I like checking back here only because the turn is the least scary card ever for the villain and a 26/6 donk likely isn't folding anything he liked on the flop to a turn bet here, especially given his stack size.

I don't mind a bet flop, check turn line vs an aggressive player- he's more likely to c/r you, and more likely to fire river if you hit. Vs a 26/6 though, I probably bet.

WTF? Obv. take the free card. The problem with you're combo draw is alot of villains range is bigger FD + bigger SD, alot of your outs here could be tainted.

You will def have a chance to extract some value should you hit gin on the river.

Those who say bet did you look at stack sizes? b/f is kinda gross unless we bet very little, and very little is going to get called too often.

Shove here is real bad vs someone with those stats since we're gonna get called pretty often by pair + draw hands that are ahead of us.

I'd bet here, but mostly because we have position and will win a bigger pot if we hit after betting. Getting c/r'ed is obviously not very good, but on this kind of flop, most people just c/r the flop if they plan to c/r (so you're just going to get called a lot).
