    Default Flop da boat no idea how to play

    Opponent is a 20/5/.9 type after lots of hands. Preflop and flop are standard me thinks. But it leaves me lost on the turn. Do you donk turn? Do you c/r turn? Do you call and lead river? All options seem to suck considering how I got here...makes me think a three bet on the flop is the best option. Is it?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 ($27.40)
    MP2 ($22.60)
    CO ($16.75)
    Button ($12.45)
    SB ($53.30)
    BB ($62.40)
    Hero ($54.85)
    UTG+1 ($99)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4, 4.
    Hero calls $0.50, UTG+1 raises to $2.5, MP1 calls $2.50, 5 folds, Hero calls $2.

    Flop: ($8.25) 5, 5, 4 (3 players)
    Hero bets $4, UTG+1 raises to $10, MP1 folds, Hero calls $6.

    Turn: ($28.25) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $10

    normal line is c/r all in however i think we give opp a chance to get away from his hand with that line.
    He may have A5s or its just a big over pair or maybe AKs with a flush draw in which case giving a free card will prob earn cash for us if he catches.
    Fwiw, id call and open push any river card as i cant see opp having anything but a big pocket or else overs and a flush draw. If he has 55 cry.

    this is not a scary board for his hand, which is probably 1010+ I would reraise to $16 and hope he pushes on the flop.

    As played, the call of his reraise is not bad because it can make him seem like he has control if not reraised, but if you do this, make your goal to get all the money in on the Turn. I think you lead turn with like a 1/2 pot bet, expecting him to come over the top.
