you're looking at a pair and a flush draw here a large majority of the time

how many hands is 18% donk over?

never call his donk either. I call this and get it in on blank turns

I like shoving blank turns

flatting seems the safe play , but the re raise makes shoving turn easier due to a larger pot size

if you love variance raise/call shove

if not, try to get to showdown

if youre somewhere in between, bet a blank turn and call a shove

seems fitting.

Because villain will only make a flush on the flop 1 in 118 times, so you can never put your opponent on that unless you are 100 percent sure. Calling and shoving on a blank turn makes sense, but then again villain may be protecting his two pair, or sets the same way. In the worst case scenario, villain has flopped a flush like 9d8d, 8d7d, 6d5d and is re raising because he knows or thinks you have an AK with a "K" of diamonds and wants to build the pot and protect his hand.

If you do call, expect to be committed to any blank on turn.

i agree i believe just fold on the flop. or smooth call and try to get to showdown cheap no point of exploding the pot with top top here. villian there arnt very many scenarios where u are favorite here.

u never have good equity against his continuing range, a 3bet is likely (against which you have to fold) and get into ugly spots
