My thoughts on your thoughts:

If you think his donking range is pps fhs and suited aces and you have >50% equity vs the range that continues to a flop raise then go for it. I mean I guess you could try and keep his range wider for the turn and try and get it in there but don't think the raise is bad, and I'm also not sure how often he donks 88-JJ and bets again on the turn. Flatting the flop might have a higher ev but we aren't worried about him folding an ace on the flop. This response is kinda disorganized I'm tires sry but ty for posting your thoughts I dunno why these n00bz haven't responded
