BB is 17/11/3.00 over 18 hands, no real reads yet.

Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players

Hero (MP): $10.00
CO: $12.90
BTN: $10.05
SB: $10.65
BB: $10.00
UTG: $7.15

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is MP with Q

1 fold, Hero raises to $0.35, 3 folds, BB calls $0.25

Flop: ($0.75) A

(2 players)
BB bets $0.40, Hero raises to $1.20, BB raises to $2, Hero ??

I guess raising the donkbet here is standard but what do we do about the min 3bet? Do we call it in position and what is the plan for the rest of the hand?

I don't think he would of done that donk bet without an ace since he is re raising your raise. So either just call or fold...if you raise the 2 you're committed and might as well go all in. IF you call you could use a diamond if it hits as a scare card. Maybe i'm being nitty but I would fold.

you're getting ~5 to 1 to call. another queen is 20ish to 1, but your implied odds are really good if it does. if a diamond comes on the turn, he may check and offer you a chance to bluff him off, or get another free card.

that said, i probably fold to his donk after the ace comes. he's got a relatively tight range for low stakes, and probably has an ace.

You guys don't ever think he is going to donk a flush draw here? I agree that after the 3B it's a fold but I'm not convinced he always has an ace when he donks this flop.

no, he may donk with a flush draw, but even if you raise, he will probably call.

get money in the pot with the best hand. re-evaluate after flop is good, but i think you lose value by not raising preflop.
