In the second hand SB was completely unknown and BB was a huge fish (63/38 over only 16 hands), 2/3 donk bets. OTF I may be ahead but the SB is still in the pot.

i don't know if this can help (might be wrong)
when i have air or a weak hand
i tend to raise donkbets when:
-
villain has a high dbet% + donkbet is small + dry board (especially Axx, or paired boards). it works both for value and as a bluff.
i tend to fold (even strong overpairs):
-no stats on villain + donkbet is relatively big +
drawy board+ villain donks in a multiway pot + villain is likely not to fold or could even shove if we raise (i don't want to commit to a pot with a weak hand). our hand has little equity or is not working well even vs. a range of strong draws.
i tend to call:
-when it's a mixture of the situations above and i'm IP and i feel like i'm ahead a good amount of times. plus
these hands are pretty much in the middle
AJ hand i'd probably call because we're given good odds, plus we have the A
and a J. we're rarely really ahead here imo as any naked draw has decent equity. given the stack sizes if we raise here we probably have o call a shove but i wouldn't expect to be ahead in that case.
66 hand: meh...i'm probably calling and revaluating turn.
it's also important to understand their donking range and how they play the turn when they get called. take as many notes as you can.
