Flop: ($2.55) 5 4 T (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets $0.75, Hero raises to $2.50, SB folds, BB raises to $4.25

it's not happening to me ALOT, but sometimes shortstack players with up to 60bb's will suk you in a hand. he decideds to donk the flop with a very weak bet, so i decide to raise it up with my TP which i think is right about always, but now he showes me he's not going anywhere and he did that just to come over the top of me. time to fold on the flop?


edit: i know this might just be an easy fold when he 3bets flop, but i just hate those situation. i prefer him to check raise so ill lose less money, but i guess donks outplay you sometimes?

I'm just click-raising this Flop and folding to a shove. If he just calls we can be pretty confident in our hand and put the rest in on the Turn.

I think raising the pot is no good in this spot because we can be pretty sure we're beat when they come back over the top of us, and unless he didn't donk into us we'd have probably bet about 1.50 anyway, not a Potsized CB, so raising to what you would have bet anyway is fine.
