what do i do here? Villain is a 38/20/38 fold to 3bet is 50% 2/4. It's just a half pot bet so should I just call and evaluate turn since his afq is kind of low he might just be donking some kind of draw and give up on the turn. Or do I just fold the flop?

Call flop. Fold turn if he bets again.

If you had air here (say a missed KQ with a spade) I'd likely raise the donk bet because donk bets on Ace high boards are generally not real hands. Here though we have a hand with too much actual value to turn it into a bluff by raising imo.

in my opinion you have to 3bet his 1$ bet and the other player or fold or go allin...if he folds good you have win a nice hand if he go allin you have to fold because sure he had an aces with high kicker or he find the tris...

thanks wvh.

Pol, i wouldn't be 3betting the flop, i'd be raising because he just Bet. Now if i bet first, then he raised(or 2bet), then i reraised that would be me 3betting

Yeah, I'd call flop at least. Problem is that if he's this laggy his flop donk could be a 9, a 7, TT/JJ, an Ace, or two spades. Even though it's 3 bet/called pre, it's 10nl and he's loose so I think his range is still pretty wide.

raise the donk for value and fold to a shove

depending on aggression and overall stupidity: 8t, t6, 86, 9x, JJ-,and all XsXs hands will either call or shove.
turning QQ into a bluff is silly i agree however i believe this line is nearly always better than call flop fold turn.
