I hate your fold in turn 1. People donk all kinds of crap, and it doesn't mean he has a 6 or K. Especially against an unknown, I call down.

Hand 2 looks good, that is usually a weirdly played K or such but.. I suppose even donks can get out of line with a flush draw or a worse hand.. I dunno..

Hand 3 looks good and is the easiest fold of the three.

#1 is a pretty terrible fold.
#2 I'd just dump it on the flop. Sure he could be donking 2nd, bottom pair, some draw, or maybe nothing... but why fight him in this small pot when you could be dead?
#3 Ya.

How can you say #1 is a terrible fold, but you should dump #2 on the flop.

I think with #2 if the guy likes to donk a lot you should just call down from the flop. The way you played it, I really have no idea. I probably call down here in case he maybe picked up a pair of 9s to go along with his draw or is just flat-out betting a worse pair again.

Hand 1 is a lot closer than previous posters are giving it credit for.
