Flop: Kd-3c-7c. V checks, hero bets $10, V calls. Pot $41.
Turn: 2d. V donks $45. Obviously if we call we’re not folding any rivers with $45 behind. Hero?

I mostly open dump KQo in MP now, even with a shortstack (especially at tight tables where a raise will mostly limit the Kx/Qx hands to better ones and yet we'll have to stack off with our dominated TP postflop due to small SPR). Not a horrendous result (HU, in position, with initiative), but I typically wouldn't expect it at my table.
SPR is just under 5 and board is somewhat drawy. I consider myself committed (although slightly uncomfortably so), and would simply PSB+ the flop to setup a turn shove. If the board didn't contain a flush draw I'd be cooler with the smaller bet x 3 plan.
Weird spot on turn. Due to preflop and flop, we really should consider ourselves committed, and nothing changed on the turn card. But the turn action certainly gives me pause. Still, for these stacks, I likely continue thru with my commitment decision and shove (which would have been made trivial had we left ourselves with just a PSB left on the turn with a bigger flop bet).
