 Villian is a 78/0 donk over about 50 hands or so. He has no real betting patterns that make sense to me. Basically he's probably just a n00b doing what feels like at good idea at the time. He would call down in position with a really good hands sometimes or bet with it. A raise here would basically commit me to call a river push against this guy.

I hate playing this weak against this type of player but he was on one hell of a heater. Check out the hand he stacked me deep with! Please no comments on how I played this hand, I played it in an unstandard way for an unstandard player (Warning, bad beat post!)

1st hand is kinda a tough spot.
He donks the turn - meaning 3 things:
1) he has nothing and hopes you will tell him to go away or let him show down cheap
2) he has a monster and hopes you will raise him/call drawing dead
3) he is semi-bluffing with no FE (setting the bet size).

Only in the 3rd case do you want to raise the turn for value. If it was heads up I think calling down is fine - I don't think he has a KQ type hand he is going to get stacked on. With the 3rd guy in and probably drawing, maybe a raise to ~pot is best.

It's close though - he kinda looks like he has a 5, so showing down cheap is OK.

 I like raising the turn because he's a donk and I don't want to let petterzen chase the flush for next to nothing.

Really is it ever bad to stack off with TPTK to a donk?
