    Default facing aggression from passive donk

    I'm taking my first shot at 50nl. During my first session, I had perfect position on a 73/6/1.5 donk. We've had a decent number of HU hands since I've been isolating him often. Our post flop encounters have been him donking weak, calling a raise, and usually folding to a big turn bet or calling down top pair. Or he check/folds when he misses the flop entirely. Then this. He's a donk, but he's never shown aggression like this in any hand against anyone yet.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($19.20)
    Hero (BB) ($30.70)
    UTG ($9.25)
    MP1 ($17)
    MP2 ($75.95)
    CO ($79.20)
    Button ($39.40)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, Q
    5 folds, SB calls $0.25, Hero bets $2, SB calls $1.50

    Flop: ($4) Q, 8, J (2 players)
    SB bets $17.20 (All-In), Hero???

    fold

    whenever i look these up expecting a draw 100% it's 2 pair. I know folding pairs vs donks is hard but i think this is a bad spot to get the money in.

    He is showing a massive amount of strenght, theres a reason. Whenever a passive donk does this to me it is 2 pair. Especially given the read, it seems like a standard fold to me.

    very passive player shoving 4x pot and we don't even beat TPTK is not a reason?

    Help me out here, don't you need to have like 45% in order to call? I think that you got it against his range. Yes he's passive post flop but I would throw draws in his range. I'm thinking that b vs. b even makes this easier for a call.
