Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 33/12/2

This situation is very familiar. Am I right that I can't be afraid of a king. every time someone calls? He has a 9 here a lot, underpairs of a flush draw. He is also a donk that might have air. I feel I am committed on the turn?

raise more pre. Other than that, wp. He only has 50 bb, so get the money in the middle.

I think 3x BB is a good raise pre flop and if you said that the player was a donk player, I think it was a good play. After that you bet $0.90 on the turn, you were pretty much comitted when he re-raised you.

I think 4x is better at 5nl, since you still get the same calls you would with 3, but you are getting money in with what is often a better hand.

I wasn't saying it's awful, and I guess it's good from the cutoff, but would you do this from utg as well?

I normally bet 4xbb from utg and utg+1. I was raising 2.5 from button for a while but stopped...

Plan your hands. You shouldn't be questioning whether or not you should call here, you should be questioning why you're leaving yourself committed getting like 10000:1 and don't know what to do.
