Villain was a 83/25/1.3 over 12 hands. No reads/history.

1) How's my play up to river?

2) Should I have raised turn? If so, how much and why?

3) I don't think folding is an option, but should I just call or raise river? If so, how much and why?

Thx for responses.

Raising turn seems atrocious, I think calling is best to keep in bluffs and avoid playing a big pot with 1 pair.

What are you trying to get value from when you raise river? Minbet on the flop and continuing on turn and river kind of seems strong to me

If villain is donking a lot then I think your flop flat is ok but otherwise, I'd fold flop.

It's tough w/o a read because people will donk bet like that for different reasons. I saw a guy donk blocker bet 3 streets with a gutshot 3-way that never hit yesterday. Took a note and next time I see it, I'll know his tendencies. From my experience though, once they start increasing the size, they've made a hand. I've never seen a bluff played out like that before.

I should fold the flop when I'm getting 14.5 to 1 pot odds w/two overs in position w/100bb effective stacks? Why?

So, am I just calling river then, or folding river or what?

I was considering raising river to get value from weaker jacks or maybe a smaller pair, but I was also aware of the many hands that beat me also, so I was leaning towards calling river.

I think I'd fold OOP. You need to take into account reverse implied odds when hitting, not just direct odds. Still don't think it's a big deal.

I don't hate a river raise cos yeah I doubt QJ ever folds there.

Why would you raise the flop?

Why would you fold the river?

Please explain further.
