Villain is labeled as a bad player. They are VPIP about 85% over a smallish sample size.

The have taken some weird lines. We are deep stacked at the moment and sitting 4 handed at the moment. I don't know if they are a call station yet.

Hero has ~220BB
Villain has ~ 230BB

Preflop: Hero has A

OTB
1 fold, Hero raises to 3.5BB, sb folds, Villain calls

Flop: T

Villain checks, Hero bets 3.75BB, Villain calls

Turn: 8

Villain donks for 15BB (Pot), Hero?

What are you doing in this spot? I thought there is a few ways we could play it.

I'm not a fan of trying to rep the NF HU here esp when his range is purely flushes or bluffs. We do block a lot of his natural bluffs - also more info on villain would be helpful as a lot of these high VPIP guys play passive post until they make a hand.

Think I just fold. I guess he could have 2air with the Ks. But I think there’s also a lot of k hi flushes in that range. I think it’s likely weighted to that - pretty strong - and you’re gonna give yourself fairly poor odds trying to push him off that.

The assumption is that this Player is playing 'cards' and the fact that you tell us you don't know if they are a POW or not is good. But also, what do they Donk with .. EVER?

While blocking the nut flush is OK, blocking the straight via JJ is not .. and you're not drawing to the nut straight either with 7 or Q. How (and how often) are you going to win a Showdown?

These spots in PLO look so pretty, but usually end up disappointing. GL

I'd pot. Not enough info on villain to not bluff. The tricky decision is whether we keep blasting on various rivers when called.
