Hi, now I'm posting I see that maybe I should have fold after that giant reraise at turn, but the sequence was sooo strange, with that donk bet in the flop which really baffered me :(

At these stakes I've found donk bets with air, with bottom pair, with trips, some with FD...etc. I'm so confused with this movement.

I think that he might donk with a sets, SD and some Qx type of broadway hands that he didn't 3 bet. The turn completes some of his SD in form of 87 and it generally is better for villain range so I would just call turn and evaluate river. If you raise you are mostly folding his Qx type of hands that give you value and that leaves him with sets and straights. After his 3bets it's an easy fold given passive tendencies of pool. The street I would consider raising is flop only here.

I think turn raise is very thin, flop I would raise more often but will be careful because there 6 sets out there. And continuing with turn play, I wouldn't raise his donk on 9c, and definitely vs almost 4x size fold and feel good.

I don't know, I don't really mind the turn raise because I would perceive villains line to be quite weak on average, but I could be wrong. Againts a 3bet I would be really worried though, so I would probably find a fold there.

The logic for calling the flop when you likely have the best hand but raising the turn when one of the most common draws hits is a little off to me unless you feel like his turn bet sizing really made you confident that your hand was best.
