flat flop, flat flop against regs too usually, just because you have a fd doesn't mean you need to raise and get lots of money in even if those donk bets annoy you. if you flat you don't risk getting 3bet off your draw or having to commit with a bad FD and you have position and a guy like this will pay you off most likely

turn yeah i guess now that you have a pair go for it, he can have a fd or something weird

i think raising here is fine because the villian is a ******. villian donking pot makes me feel ****tier about raising, but i still think its fine. gotta shove the turn, now that you have some showdown value, hope villian has a fd/random air/random weaker pair.

i think raising against a reg is pretty bad because seldom will they ever call oop. he's most likely going to either:

a) fold (raising would be better with random air)

or

b) jam (now you have to fold a hand you'd really like to see the turn with)
