Hand was very early on in a session on Ignition, no read.

1) Anyone think its a good idea to donk the flop here? I find it very difficult to play these hands from the blinds where you flop the world and its very difficult not to give away the strength of your hand with any aggressive action. If I check raise either the flop or the turn, its really hard to have any bluffs and I'm basically giving away that I have a minimum of 4x. If I just check and call, I run into the possibility that happened here that if someone else raises I am forced to give away the strength of my hand. However, donking feels like I could conceal the strength of my hand a little better. I'm thinking I could donk with 44, TT, marginal value like AT (I probably 3b JJ+), and some bluffs with double back door draws like QJss or something like that. Since the flop is only 3way and the board is fairly dry, I think I could get a decent amount of these bluffs through, but donking could also allow me to ensure 3 streets of value from some strong 1pair hands that might otherwise pot control at some point.

2) As played, both cold calling and raising the turn seem super strong, so I think I just go ahead and raise it??

Thanks!
