isolation to middle pair ... do i call the donk?

Don't have specific reads, but I just remember villian had a decently high vpip, but pretty standard for 1-2 6max tables.

Comments on all streets appreciated ... can I call this river-donk?

For these situations, my "Rule Of Thumb" goes something like this...

Call a river-donk from a donkey, but fold to a donkey's river c/r

i think your ahead enough to make this call profitable. with the pre-flop raise, i would guess that he is putting you on missed overcards and hoping to take the pot with his river bet. i would easily make this call on the river.

Call > Raise >>>>>>>>> Fold

call > fold > and raising isn't even an option. it has been disabled.

i bet you he has something stupid like 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

River call is ok, it would be silly to fold for 1 more bet. Unless he decided to slowplay his pair of jacks, I don't know what he has here that has you beat, that he wouldn't raise on the flop/turn.
