Trying something different. Anonymous fast fold 6-max 25NL.

Hero opens :qc::ks: in +1 and BB & SB call:

BB leads flop at just under 1/2 pot.

Hero?

Calling at least once. How the turn plays is dependent on the cards.

Hero could also turn his hand into a bluff and raise. Even a fold might be ok.

The spot seem pretty open for a range of options, it is all close to equal. Let's say flat > raise > fold but I think a flip of the coin would work ok too.
 
Hero does decide to call and evaluate turn. Turn improves Hero's draw to a gutshot + NFD.
Villain leads again for just under 1/2 pot.

Hero?

Hero is getting a fine price to draw, too good for a fold to be an option.

Along the same line, I don't like turning Hero's hand into a bluff by raising. If villain raises, Hero will be strongly encouraged to fold. If villain flats, is Hero committed to a second barrel if unimproved on the river? If Hero wants to bluff - maybe the river will present an opportunity.

Flatting the turn seems like the best plan. Let's give it a try.
 
Hero has been watching this season of High Stakes Poker and his inner Tom Dwan makes an appearance.
Since Hero's equity improved further he decides to put Villain in a tough spot and raises 4x to $8.36.
Thinking is that if Villain binked the FD on turn he would have bet more than just under 1/2 pot for value and Hero has a draw to the NFD if V made a lower FD.
Villain probably made one pair at best on the flop hence the donk - this raise should put Villain to the test.

Villain tank folds. Will see hold cards later tonight as it takes 24 hours for hole cards to be available.
