Default I use a read

Canterbury 15/30 9 handed
villain here is a regular and he is very bad. He is also rather passive. He will limp ace-rag. he cold calls with QJo. misses TONS of value bets on the river. he just plain sucks.
Villain limps, folds to me 3 seats later and I raise A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], everyone else gets out of the way and villain calls.

Flop HU: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
villains now donks, I call.

villain is now exposing his cards to BB. The turn brings the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

villain bets, I fold.

the 3 guys who have done this to me have all had air.

They fell more into the actor class though.

I've had a similar air-rate for people trying to display reverse tells. Whenever I've seen an opponent fumble to show his cards to a neighbor just before betting (or double check his hole cards & board repeatedly before betting), it's usually been a pure bluff.

Also, I would raise the flop.

I find myself waiting to raise the turn a lot lately in hands like these. Is that bad? I feel like the donking range is usually a draw over a made hand and I know they are going to put in 2 BBs on the turn most of the time.
