This is really not a good time for WA/WB. If you are ahead, he has way too many outs to play this passive. I think I would usually C/R this flop and lead out the turn.

Sorry for the noob question, but what is WA/WB?

Also, what do you think of donking the flop and then bet/folding or check folding the turn?

WA/WB means Way Ahead or Way Behind. It essentially is a line you use when either you are ahead and your opponent is drawing to 2 or less outs, or you are behind and drawing to two or less outs. You pick the line that maximizes your win when ahead, and minimizes your loss when behind.

I don't like donking the flop for a reason that was recently explained to me. This more applied to marginal steal defenses in the BB that did not include PP's though. Anyways, the reason we can call 1 SB preflop with a marginal holding is because if we include the "thief's" auto-bet on the flop, we are effectively getting 3.5:1 odds on our preflop call. Donking the flop makes us much more readable, and reduces the odds we were getting on the PF call.
