I don't get the flop raise, given the donk bet and the draw heavyness of the board.

you like calling and folding turn unimproved, or just folding flop?

Fold the flop...your outs are tainted and you'll rarely make it to showdown and win with K high. You'll also rarely, fold out BB on this draw-heavy board.

I might agree with you. I like just folding here sometimes, but its just sooo weak. I think it gets down to who the bettor is.

I peel and fold the turn most of the time. Of course, you should balance that by waiting till the turn to raise with an overpair or set in this spot.

This is fine. I would mix it up between this line and the one that steveyz provided.

I'd like this a lot better if you had Ks or Qs. Then if you picked up a backdoor spade draw you could check the turn behind (presuming he checks to you after your flop raise) if you don't hit your K, Q or 9 giving yourself another shot at the pot. If the flush hits he'd lead out his pair on the river and you could pop him with a raise.

do not fold the flop

you will get bet 3-bet by everything after that.

next time you are up against this player with an overpair, play it the same and call his flop bet, then raise the turn on his ass.

you played this hand fine.
