Villain looks like he will turn out to be a TAG and has shown some signs that he is capable of somewhat advanced plays. Only 80 hands though.

Hero ?
Would anyone donk here?
I turn my hand face up and I cannot comfortably fold if he raises which sucks, but if he indeed is capable of some advanced plays, he could turn some weak tens into a bluff which would make DB/C a fine play.
Probably just my FPS kicking in, anyway, I'm interested in your opinions

I think I like Ch/Call, but am also interested in what others think about this spot. My feeling is we don't really gain much by donking as he will likely fold a lot of worse hands anyways (stuff like 88, A7, T9) and given hero's read we can't fold to a reraise (not sure I agree with this part as a default, but we can assume calling the reraise is correct in this case.)
I think if we Check, villain will value bet say AT and better as well as occasionally bluff the scare card as well. So generally, if a bet is going to go in on the river, villain is going to bet our hand for us in most cases. I think if we see villain check behind a hand like J9 in this spot, we should probably re-evaluate our play though.
