    Default 10NL : Facing donk bet on drawy board with drawy hand

    (VP$IP/PFR [Street Aggression] 3-bet%)

    BB : 22/14 [5 3 2] 3% over 180 hands

    Ok so what is my line vs this donk bet ? Raising daisy or just flat ?

    Poker Stars $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players

    UTG: $6.15
    Hero (CO): $11.20
    BTN: $3.20
    SB: $14.40
    BB: $28.40

    Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is CO with T K
    UTG calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.40, 2 folds, BB calls $0.30, 1 fold

    Flop: ($0.95) 9 J 5 (2 players)
    BB bets $0.30, Hero?

    Looks like a blocking bet to me, but what have you seen him flat the BB with? What have you seen flat from the BB and then donk with? Draws? Made hands? On what kinds of boards has he done this? Wet ones? Dry ones? Does he know about position? What kind of hands has he made such small bets with? Does he bet his draws? Does he like to slowplay?

    My default is raise small donkbets by unknowns. Especially on this board, I really don't want him to get a free card. Plus raising tells him you're serious, so you might get a fold. Is he a calling station? If not, you have a gutshot and an overcard, so you can still improve if he does call. I definitely raise here without knowing how this guy plays. No less than pot.

    His bet seems kind of weak. I would raise him see if you can push him off a draw. If he calls, see how things look on the turn but probably let it go.

    I don't like raising. Float and see what he does on the turn.

    I like a raise. We have some outs and he's aggressive and I think the best bet for him to play passively is to raise now and check most turns if he calls.

    So we have 3 ppl who like to raise and 1 person who like to float...... to i adjust my line based on majority ?
