To Donk or Not To Donk...

That's the tip of the iceberg of what's wrong with your analysis.

Well, please dig into it and tell me specifics. I have offered reasons behind all of my choices. The terse, non-descriptive criticism that I am getting is hard to take a solid lesson from.

Maybe it's my own fault for speculating why we're in this pot OOP with 3's, which is not the OP's question.

So we find ourselves in this position on the flop. We are almost definitely ahead, and we're NOT betting? Why are we trying to be tricky OOP on a micro-stakes table?

This is just an opinion, but leading here is actually being tricky instead of checking which is standard.

I would be surprised if villain is not cbetting on such a dry board, even with that low cbet frequency. Plus I am assuming that the cbet stats is across all positions and not from late position alone. With such low frequencies you will almost find the distribution skewed towards LP (at least that's what my database tells me).

If he's not cbetting I doubt you're gonna get anything more from villain if you donk, while mid-PPs "most probably" fold to a donk and A-high hands will definitely fold which could have taken a stab if checked to so I don't see the benefit of donking imo.

Checking to the aggressive-enough preflop raiser isn't being 'tricky', it's completely standard. I've already outlined why I think it's good here.
