Do I mess up by raising on the flop here? I wanted to raise to get more value but I'm thinking I should just call and raise on the turn? I know a lot of players would probably just give up cbetting on the turn but should I be giving them a chance to second barrel or is it best to raise on the flop with only TPGK?

I think the correct play is to call the flop to get more value on the turn. The villain doesn't have many outs to beat you in most scenarios and raising on a board like this doesn't give you much of an advantage. The plus side to raising is that you find out where you are in the hand but too often in scenarios like this the villain has hands that are drawing to 3 or less outs (AK, QJ, QJ, or any small pair.)

what range do you put your opponent on

On this dry board. i like a call more than a raise.. Let him hang him self..

If he checks turn, we can make a small bet, and he will cal again with his weakish hand.

Question, What do you do if he reraises?

what range do you put your opponent on

I expect AQ, KQ to raise pre so I would put them on QJ, QT, maybe Q9 if suited, dont think many are going as low as Q8 so no two pairs, T9s, 89s, A8s, A2s, 22-66, I think 77-99 would probably raise pre but they have to be considered. Of all the hands I think he could have I'm only not beating sets. If I had thought this through I'm sure I would have just called as it seems like a much better idea.

If he raised here I'd probably fold. He's shown strength with the donk, he's out of position so if I call I'm just seeing another bet on the turn, don't think it'd be profitable 4betting/pushing. Showing that much strength normally means something.
