Karlovacko71 folds, Hero raises to $6, EmilPornoff raises to $18, yhaaaa folds, Nurek23o folds, DjuNKeLL folds, Hero calls $12
This is arguable bad, but stacks are fairly deep and Villian is an unknown.

Should we lead this turn here? On a paired board, check-calling a FD is probably bad because we're getting bad odds, and we won't get value out of much if we hit.
So a FD would be nice to donk the turn with, to get him to fold some bluffs and maybe some stronger hands like QQ or maybe even an Ace.

If he has a nice Ax like AK, he'll call the turn, and he'll be in a very tough spot on a river brick.
How do you guys like this play? I don't have donking ranges vs last aggressors that aren't huge fish, but this may be a nice spot.

In this particular spot it's less appealing because there's still 120BB behind on the turn, so if we get stacks in, we nearly always run into a bigger hand.

Thoughts?
