I would just call here and take a note of what he donked with.If he's on a flat out bluff, then there's no value in raising.If he has two pair, with the ace, then he almost always has you beat, set, ditto, etc.Does a naked ace really play like this?I'm sure something like T9, etc may do this as well, but meh.I'll tell you what I think CM would say: You expected to get to the river and get one bet in when he c/c's, you get what you expected if you just call here. Something like that :PWin 1, lose 2 situation, as well.

You expected to get to the river and get one bet in when he c/c's, you get what you expected if you just call here.

Beautiful!Without a specific read on Villain donk-betting here with a worse hand, I just call.His bet certainly says that he improved on the River.Which means that you are usually behind.Don't get greedy without the read.Call down.--CM
