hey all, couple of hands here and how to handle these donk bets.

In the first hand, opp is 51/9/4.4, short stacked.
Do you like a call on the flop and a fold to a 4flush turn PUSH from him, and call any other card? Do you automatically shove here with TPTK? How does it change the line as it's a 3way pot - will my hand be ahead against his range often enough here to shove?

In the 2nd hand, it's HU, and I think my hand plays well enough against a range he can donk bet here, but again, what's your best line against a shorty here on this type of flop, just call the flop and get it in on a blank turn? Opp here is 26/8/3.6

hand one is standard, played perfect.

hand two i think you gotta shove this. i dont think he's potting this flop with a ten, his best line there would def be to crai, therefore i think his range is heavily weighed to draws... so shove.
here is my inspiration, ISF upset that he lost a dollar: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...806.html#28211

hand 1 i agree is right as played. hand 2, idk. i mean, short stack donks arent plannning out their lines usually and this is "zomg TP" as much as its a draw imo.

Hand 1 I agree as well that you played it fine.

Hand 2, you have to ask yourself if this guy always bets out on top pair no matter who raises. I think it's best to fold until you get a better idea on how this person plays. You can smooth call him and see what happens on the turn, but I believe the fold is a better option.

quick bets = ?
quick calls = ?
long pause then bet = ?
long pause then reraise = ?
