Villian had just sat down, but I had notes on him as a complete donk. I figured AA or KK might 3-bet me preflop, so I figured I was in the clear. What am I afraid of on this board?

Do I ever lay this down?

What streets do you like and not like?

Sure, you lay it down sometimes, but I don't think you do it here. I'm thinking it was JJ-TT or an unimproved AK.

Yes.

He raised UTG and then called your re-raise. He then called two more big bets. You said he is a donk. If so, then why is he raising 3xBB pre-flop? He's got something, although it could be 88-JJ or AA-KK.

3xBB raise UTG is pretty donkish to me, even in 6max. I know he has something, but I'd think that JJ or TT or AK would be infinately more likely than the other QQ, or KK, or AA, given the action.

I didn't re-raise him that much, I gave him an opportunity to 3-bet with AA or KK if he had it, and call any other hand. Thus, I should be ahead the vast majority of the time. Is this not correct?

Against a complete donk, I think this line is fine. Against an unknown I would probably check the turn and call/value bet the river.
