Bottom pair against donkbet

Villain is loser, he try to win every pot, so i think my 5 was good in that spot. My english is not good but i will try to explain without use google translate :)Pre-flop: He simple dont fold any hand until this hand.Flop:  this is the first time he donkbet, so i give credit for him for any J, flush draw, straight draw, and 6 or 5, or air.Turn: interesting card come, and he lead again so now i put him in QJ, flush draw, straight draw, or air. I think he probably check the J, 6, or 5.River: and another interesting card come, and he raise big, now i put him on QJ or air (missed flush and straight draw). so i call.This is my first post :), what you guys think? If my english is so bad please say it for me so i start using google translate.   No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players$30 + $1.50 Heads Up Sit & Go Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter SBHero1370 BBMr Norfolk 041630  Effective Stacks: 69bb Blinds 10/20 Pre-Flop (30, 2 players) Hero is SB Hero raises to 60, Mr Norfolk 04 calls 40   Flop (120, 2 players) Mr Norfolk 04 bets 100, Hero calls 100   Turn (320, 2 players) Mr Norfolk 04 bets 210, Hero calls 210   River (740, 2 players) Mr Norfolk 04 bets 500, Hero calls 500   Final Pot: 1740 Hero shows Mr Norfolk 04 shows two pair, Jacks and Sixes Mr Norfolk 04 wins 1740 ( won +870 ) Hero lost -870

First of all, your English is

First of all, your English is fine.Without many reads on this opponent, and especially taking into account what you have said, I believe the flop is an easy fold. Your hand is only a bluff catcher and has little prospect of improving if you are not currently ahead.His flop bet is quit large. Any real hand that he can have is beating yours and almost every card that falls on the turn will only stengthen your opponent's range against yours. Any club, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, Q, K, or A is bad for your hand.If he had donked out with a smaller bet, perhaps you could call and see what turn brings.The blinds are still very low and you have a lot play left if you fold to his flop donk bet. You do not know what he is betting and you almost certainly don't want to call a turn bet.Let this one go and look for a much better situation later in the match. As many of the instructors say, patience is the key to playing good HU poker.

I def agree with qattack.

I def agree with qattack. fold on the flop.. id even also this hand preflop.. the suitedness of the hands adds like 2% probability that you win the hand at showdown i think?
