NL10 Turn decision.

Swog

Notes on Villian:
limps alot.
calls from blinds weak alot.
passive with two pair and then house on river.
twice donked turn and call big raise, then donked again on river and folded to raise.
flatted top set on flop.

What are your thoughts on the flop? am i okay to raise looking to get it in, given my reads that he is likely to slowplay big hands.
Turn is a standard ship, right?

Yeah ship turn and get ready to doge some bullets!
Giving your notes on vilian, it is likely he has some sort of draw and by donking wants to dictate the pot size or to try and take it down. As he is passive with big hands, we can rule out sets and 2 pair the majority of the time. Just shove the turn and hope to run good.
Guessing he it though?

Swog

Thanks for the reply Curt, i was thinking exactly the same thing in play, hence the turn shove.
I won't be revealing his hole cards just yet, after a little more unbiased advice.
Are people generally happy with my line here flop and turn?

i kind of ruled out the set for some reason, i was sure he wouldn't donk lead the set.

i thought it was a random two pair, Qx, flush draw or some kind of combo draw.

Even against 2 pair i have about a 20% chance to outdraw opponent.



btw he held 45o for bottom 2.

I didn't get chance to comment on this post, but I think I'd have put him on two pair as well if he could play, as is a very draw heavy board and so it doesn't surprise me he would lead out to protect his hand. Sometimes, of course, a donk can be from a weak player just randomly leading out, but certainly on draw heavy boards always a little worried about two pair in this sort of spot and a donk bet is not their standard play.

I wouldn't raise the flop here tbh but as played yeah ship turn or call with intention of calling or checking any river.
