Villain at the table less than an orbit, hasn't played any hands. I'm playing snug and selectively aggro and card-racking like a machine, top 10 at this point in the tournament. What the **** is that 2x pot donk bet on the flop? I feel like it totally polarizes his range to utter BS and whatever he thinks is the nuts.

folds...normally i say it looks like K 10 but you hold 2 10s...let it go here...

other problem is if he has overs the board can easily counterfit your pair

Yes, I think this is a fold. Although this spot is very random. You have plenty of chips and I think you can definitely find better spots.

I usually say wtf when people lead into the PFR. It sucks, takes away your position and annoys the hell outta me. there's a lot of combo draws/broadway hands he could have and you may already be counterfeited.

without understanding your opponent's tendencies, it's too early for him to stop n' go, I'd wait it out a little. Your stack is so healthy and his bet immediately shows you that you have at least one awful player at your table. ssnyc is right - his big draws are marginalized considering that you have two 10s, so, I fold.

yes.. very weird.. although i'd probably fold if this happened to me, the longer i look at the action, the more convinced i get you actually have the best hand.

He bets twice the pot which commits him, which is strange with every possible holding except maybe a draw. I think K9 is a possibility here.. underpairs also..even 98, weak queen or jack or overpair seem less likely.

still it would be a very sick call.

I hate folding to donk bets in this situation, but I do it just the same.

why would it be so hard to believe that villain would donk shove a Q here? The pot is big enoug relative to his stack for him to end the hand now. Just fold.
