Basically there is a mix of people, some taking this table seriously, some raising with junk. I am here to work on my postflop play, hence the uber-blind-defense call in hand 1. I have only played about 20 hands tehre when these two occur in a short amount of time.

Ok, so I bet into him on the flop, since he most likely doesn't have a made hand yet. Then the big scare card hits on the turn. Does anyone else still bet this here? I don't want to give up aggression, because I can't justify calling down on both the turn and river with just a pair of 3s, but I fear he might try to push me off my hand on a bluff.

What do we make of this turn donkbet? Are we going into calldown mode or are we raising again? surely not a fold, right?
