A midpair hand vs Donk Bet King
 

Villian is the 'donk bet king'. In my 6+ rounds at the table, I have seen him donk bet any scare card obscene amount of the time. He's 65/5/.68 over a small sample. For example, he would donk bet an ace river with K high.

The donk bet king burst into action. I'm seriously wondering about my hand right now, but I think, by his previous action, I might be ahead more than 1 out of 6 (maybe 1/4)

I like the turn raise. I think you need to fold to the 3-bet.

If you can't fold to the 3 bet then, ftlog, don't raise the turn. In fact, as a general rule of thumb, if you believe your opponent is either bluffing or way ahead of you, you shouldn't be raising. I understand that you want to protect your hand, but unless you're ahead of this guy a huge portion of the time then this is weaksauce. Call, call.

Against this oppt u did right, call him down. Getting that turn reraise is a way to send a message to not try that crap with you but it can backfire. Against this guy u must at least call. And raise if u wanna send that subtle little message. Good hand
