Ok so I raise pf and get the call from the bb (no reads have not played with him before). The flop is pretty good for me without hitting the A or K, i'm c-betting this always and happy I'm ahead. Suddenly he leads into me... Doesn't happen too often and when it does I usually put them on air and raise. Is that correct? Should I be raising this or peeling because I'm confident I'm ahead?

could have over pair, raise and find out!

DOHHHHHHH

I used to raise all donk bets in heads up pots, but started to float more, and this is a great spot to do so.

They rarely donkbet then fold, it takes 2/3 barrels to make them fold normally, so flat, and try and figure out a move on the turn.

U can represent clubs and overcards if one hits, u have 6 outs yourself, and you could already have the best hand.

If the turn is a rubbish blank, and he leads strongly again, you can just fold, and make a note on his play.

exactly what dohh said!  my guess is he has hit 7's or on a draw, he prob knows you have high cards so im guessing he knows ur calling or raising back into him so call and move on the turn.

So I went for the call on the flop. Then he fires again on the turn. On the flop I was putting him on a club draw, maybe like QJc, KJc. Should I continue calling believing I have the best hand or just give up. I don't put 56 in his range so the straight isn't worrying me. 7 8 maybe?

DOHHHHHHH

Yeh he's led strongly again, he aint bluffing,  -  just give the hand up.

Make a note on his play, you can play your strong hands slow in position, knowing he donks x 2.

I think he has 88 or 99.

I think readless I just chuck it on the turn, he could have random 7s like A7, K7, 78, 67 etc that he takes this line with.

Personally i would get rid on flop, although im a bit nitty(not donkeyplop nitty :P) i dont mind being the better but calling when you could be well behind or needing to hit, Fold<Call<Re-raise imo basically if you do call because you think just a donk bet then would make them bet again on the turn as they have so would be folding, as no reads have to assume they are not completely stupid so they should have 4 or at least top pair by turn
