Um, what was your plan on the river if you got reraised? If your plan was to fold, then you should have just called the donk bet. Based on his numbers and the size of the pot I would have folded to the donk bet.

The fold is not that bad but if you were going to fold to a reraise then your raise is pretty awful. Your raise has essentially no +EV against a reasonable opponent (especially with the 3 flush on the board). When you raise if you are behind he will call - or worse as in this case - raise. If you are ahead he will fold. There is almost no way you will gain a bet by raising and if you were ahead here you lost 5.75 BB by folding [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The amount of times I am folding a set on that board at this limit is approximately never. That said, if your sample size is sufficient and you are sure he is as passive as the numbers indicate then I would just call the river.

I suppose it is true he could have hit 2 pair, and maybe he would call with two pair even with a flush draw on the board but if so this would be rare . Overall I still think that when you factor in the risk of a reraise (which happened here) a raise in this spot has -EV

This is an automatic call. No way I am folding this here.

He would. But the only possible 2 pair he has here, given his stats, is JT. That makes it less likely than normal that he's got two pair; I think I call the river. Very rarely will I fold sets for one bet.
