what you need to look at is if you can get the guy all in very easily by calling
by the looks of it, you're either going to 3b or donk the turn again because you are semi-deep

first of all, he's not 3bing, he's raising
you're going to be 3bing, and you're not shoving you're 3bing small to like 12ish?

now it depends on your opponent and what will look stronger to him
if he's a donk he won't really notice if you flat and donk the turn again
if he's a smart player then he'd expect you to flat and donk the turn with good hands and might make an odd fold with a bad ace
although he might make an odd fold with a bad ace if you 3b

so I'd rather c/r in this spot since now it's not odd for me to lead the turn it doesn't look like a slowplay

reraise to 18, shove is overkill imo. id just c/r flop anyway, i dont like the donk since he will fire flop alot.
Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

 I'd give him some room to bluff and make it $12.
