I decide to call OOP and see a flop with a hand that does well multi way. Ideally, I would like for the BB to come along.

At this point, I am unsure how to range villain as I have no reads. I decide the best play is to donk lead and get him to call with weak draws or single pair hands. Although, in retrospect, I do believe most players would cbet this board so x/c or x/r are options as well.

Once the ace comes on the turn, I am not sure how to progress with the hand any further. His call does not tell me much on the flop and I am not really that happy with the ace. I decide to lead for a small bet as I do not want him to open myself up to player betting as a bluff and having to fold. At this point in the hand, I no longer know how to read the situation. Ideas and tips on how to think through the hand are welcome.

Pretty bad turn and river card, I decide to give up. When he bets on the river I need to be good here 20% of the time. I really want to fold because the villain does not have many bluffs in his range and his sizing suggests he would like me to call and extract value. I think and decide to call and am beat.

In retrospect, a better way to play this hand would have been to x/r or x/c the flop as I would be able to put my opponent on a better range of hands. However, what I need is a better way to think through these kinds of spots and to be better at ranging opponents. To my defense, he is an unknown. Look forward to your feedback guys. Thanks
