Guh. Urp? Flavegnukkle. WTF

Villain is erratic and very aggro but he has taken so few hands to showdown that I don't know what he has when he does shit like this. My gut instinct is that he's a major league donk, but I don't have a lot of hard evidence to back it up. Personally, I've only been in a few small pots with him, and he won most of those - a couple by check-raising my c-bets.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($117.85)
Button ($47.70)
SB ($43.60)
BB ($80.65)
UTG ($49.75)
MP ($100.75)

Preflop: Hero is CO with :Ah: :Kh:.
2 folds, Hero raises to $1.5, 1 fold, SB calls $1.25, 1 fold.

Flop: ($3.50) :Qs: :Kd: (2 players)
SB bets $0.5, Hero raises to $3, SB calls $2.50.

Turn: ($9.50) (2 players)
SB bets $0.5, Hero raises to $7.5, SB calls $7.

River: ($24.50) (2 players)
SB bets $31.6 (All-In)...

darn...

at 25NL i see a lot of these. Most of the time they're drawing, so if the obvious draw missed and they fire, i call.
Most of the time they have air, some gutshot, bottom pair...
But sometimes, a sneaky player will do that with a monster...
he has 44, JT or a missed straight draw...
cant tell u what to do but call, and if u lose, consider it information tax

 Weird hand. Is he the kind of guy that calls anything s00ted preflop? Because I could see him spiking some stupid two pair on the river. I still call with the reads you have though, I think it's awful draws often enough.

 You're getting terrible pot odds and you've shown a lot of strength, so I would just muck.

This looks a lot more like he is trying to make up for lost value, rather than bluffing.

Pot it on the flop + turn. His donk is telling you that he caught some of this and you have to think you're ahead.

How loose does he play? If KJ and KTish stuff is in his range, I'm playing for stacks.

Sometimes you'll feel stupid as he'll show you two pair or a set but I think you're usually good here.

That was my feeling too, based mainly on his previous aggression level and his extra-weird line here. I eventually called and (results in white) he showed down QT off.
