    utg opener does this with small pocket pairs

    maaaaaaaaaaate
    pre looks fine given that HJ is likely a weaker player and is continuing with a heap of stuff. i'm kind of neutral about the flop. i'd make it at least $5 if i did decide to raise him up, which i would certainly do some amount of the time.

    He just wins, mmkay?
    Whats our plan of attack following the flop if he flats?

    I assume its, if.we bink A or.Q we value.bet obviously. Check it.back when we miss? If.he.leads.turn again after flatting and we.miss are we just sighing and folding?

    Alternatives on flop are:
    Sigh and.fold, meh.
    Flat? And then what :/ seems bad.
    Raise. Out of the 3, seems by far the.best option since.we a.) potentially win the pot right.here.and.now, b.) Doing so likely buys us a free river if we miss on the turn, and c.) we get valuable insight on how.he.reacts.to raises vs his donkbets (this is fairly valuable vs.fish since they are unlikely to adjust) especially if we get to see the river.

    nope, i'm trying to induce a fold. Is this really that awful based on very limited reads? (i note that it could be!)

    Supposing you had KK, howe would you react to the donk bet?

    Could be an attempt at pot control with JJ or 99, could be TT or 88 scared of scaring you off, could also be a number of spades. I also see villains do this and then fold to a raise with god knows what.

    depending on villain probably raise to $6ish, on very rare occasion i might flat.
