Good fold here against a whale? Call pre ok or would 3bet be better?

Check call turn. we hve a lot of outs - ten - and more equity if he's ever bluffing or going bonkers with worse.

Also use balanced bets. Potting is exploitable by observant villains.

Balance goes out the window versus a 52/12.

I wasn't too sure about the donk bet initially OP but I think on this flop versus this opponent it's a decent way to go.

On the turn, it's a tough call. For calling, we're deeper than normal and villain looks like a station with what he thinks are the nuts. For folding, we're OOP and we need a lot of implied odds so we have to win more money on the river to make this +EV which might be tricky (plus we might even be behind)
