    Agree that I should decide in advance, I was kinda joking with my plan in the post above, what I meant is that I took being raised for the least likely scenario.

    But even if I am worried about being raised I think it's wrong to just call the donk bet.

    I am a little wary of the donk bet to start with (against a tight-ish villain) and if I raise more, I am committed and there is no room to fold anymore. Also villain does not seem to be the kind to call stupid amounts with a draw or second pair, so maybe I loose value if I raise more and he folds.

    On the other hand if I raise less I am not charging his draws quite enough.

    2/3 pot seemed about the right amount, but true, I'll have a tougher decision if he raises, or if he calls and the river is a diamond or completes a straight draw and he shoves.

    Best guess now is that it's possible he does that with worse trips so I should call, but I still don't like it (maybe skewed judgment because I recently dropped a lot to beats and tilt just before my planned glorious arrival at 5nl).
