and like 7ontheline mentioned meta game considerations come into play.

Also, have you been put in spots like these previously in the session? For instance, if I did fold here I definitately would not fold in a similar spot next time.

I was seeing this kind of donk a lot durring my session tonight.
I'm not speaking of one particular opponent. I played a lot of hands lst night and had multiple (weak) opponents doing this with some regularity.

This donk typically comes from weak players and therefore, I don't think there is a lot of meta game considerations. If I fold this flop, that doesn't mean they are more likely to bet out next time in a similar situation. They won't remember.

One of three things happened in these situations (when my hand doesn't improve):
a) I raise flop. Opponent calls and check/folds the turn. This happened surprisingly a lot.
b) I raise flop. Opponent calls and check/calls turn. River goes check check and I usually lose. (Usually take this line with some kind of back-door draw on flop)
c) I peel the flop and fold the turn.
