Folding Top Pair on the turn

Too weak? Villain was loose, not particularly passive or aggressive.

Why donk the flop? Much better to C/R this flop. I think it is likely you are way behind on the turn.

Yeah, meant to c/r the flop. The most frequent mistake I make while 4-tabling is forgetting who the preflop raiser is.

Check-call, check-call, bet. It's standard against anyone other than a TAG.

That's standard line HU. With the sb still in, I think it's better to extract more from him and let the tag off easy with KK-TT. Also since sb isn't too good, I'll know that if the tag plays back I can back out of the pot.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I always lead this flop with a kicker this weak hoping that the preflop raiser will autoraise and drive out the 3rd guy. The turn fold is good in my opinion.
