1) Is this a simple case of Raise fold to a Shove.
2) What if they call the Raise and Check Turn do you lead again?

Well, a min-bet donk is usually a weak hand trying to see "where it's at". I'm guessing Jx.

Raising will make him fold. And if this is a setup with a K, raising will make YOU fold. What's wrong with playing this WA/WB and just calling?
This is the kind of flop I wouldn't be c-betting, so flatting the minbet sort of is the same as not c-betting.

Actually treated the min donk as a check and raised. Also bet the turn, although if they shoved probably been an easy fold. Actually thought about Betting River as well but decided against it.

Just treat them like checks. Seems like a good spot to bet/fold three times. You can check back, but villain is pretty obviously a fish after donking for 10c, so I just let him have it.

Villain probably trying to get some info on the flop,flatting or min-raising on the flop is fine.Definitely cbet on the turn as played.

I would probably raise flop to like $1.60, check back turn since it's so dry, and bomb river for 70-75% when he checks again to make it look like a bluff. I'd expect to get looked up by AJ/QQ/QJ pretty often. I think if we barrel all three streets, even the worst fish will probably fold his AJ/QJ/QQ and put us on AK+. He might even fold to the second barrel I think if you had barreled larger.
