i'd prefer to just fold preflop with this hand. A c/r is prlly more effective as your flop bet is historically weak.

True, but a c/r raise costs a shit load more money.
If villain is holding JJ-KK here how often is he folding to this flop lead?

if i were villain and had jj-KK i would raise your flop lead, in fact, i would raise your lead here with many hands. however, i wouldn't call a c/r with jj-kk

Hmm...yeah I see what you are saying because if I have AK/AQ here I check this flop to the 3-bettor everytime.
This is one of the first times I've ever donked like this.
It worked but I am just wondering if it will work more often than not.
The only good thing I see about it is that it's a cheaper way to take a stab at the pot. If I check raise him it is going to cost me half my stack, but it will work more often...

Jeff-:Wow, I dont see why I would raise this flop if I was villain and had KK...Its most likely call or fold, unless I have no respect for the other guy. If I raise JJ-KK will he really fold AK or AQ?
Your flop lead is not great either, he will call or raise with any ace, and might call with JJ+...A c/r is better but then again risky too.. Just fold preflop or c/f flop.

Hate that.
C/R half your stack or something, or occasionally lead like this. Going all in just loses the max when he actually wakes up with a hand here.

well, i wasn't paying specific attention to the pot size. Point is, checkraising shows a ton more strength and wins more money than donkbetting.

Bet and if he raises, reraise, if he raises again, reraise all-in.

A thinking player will raise you almost 100% of the time here only worrying about 22/33.
Even then, unless they know you always lead with sets... The other problem though is that leading in a reraised pot is very strange.
If you want to mess with him I think a better line is to call the flop and lead a non-club turn or CR AI on a club turn if stacks make it possible.

when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

yeah
raise or float. Either way, getting them to fold with this bet on this board is unlikely.
