What are your thoughts on this? Is the fold standard? I'm also concerned about the flop play, so comments about any street are welcome.

My first thought was this is an easy fold. But....
What could he have that has you beaten seeing how he didn't raise preflop? Wouldn't he raise with k/q? He surely would have raised with a/q or a/k. He may be on a flush draw with a pair. 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]/8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or something like that.

I like the fold- Many people won;t raise KQ utg, and will also limp with hands like KJ and K10. I think the donk bet represents a better hand than a draw. He probably thought you were raising light and didn't want to give you a free card.
