Villain was pretty LAG and overplayed and generally not probably going to win in these games.

Standard, imo.

Do you always fold here against bad lags? Having played with the villain some at lower stakes i know that he is, in fact, bad.

Yeah he's bad. This is a fold though. I'd only even think about calling against someone very good or very bad in a very specific way.

I wouldn't raise flop here.

I'm fine with a fold.

I always call .

The hands I fear are Jx,Tx that I see sometimes donked to prevent a FSD? Meh I dunno. It's probably a fold tbh .

Should we ever be considering raising here against a good player? I think the donk line looks more like the bottom end of the straight at best, and with our flop raise we could easily have a king here.

But DD is the only player in the world capable of folding a straight and since he is never playing himself it makes no sense for him to consider this line .

Anyway according to MoP we should take the best hand we fold and raise as a bluff and I guess Qx suits that description.

Must raise this flop, it's a HU blind battle, when we just call and he checks, the hand is over often, or he c/c with a draw. Raise the flop here, see if he peels light and put your bets in when he's on the draw after.

i would just do a close call, its BvB, he can have some 9x which he turns in a bluff etc. also you say he is bad, but not non thinking, so i think he could turn something into a bluff, also we show other players that we arent bluffable so light

Results: I called this one after thinking a bit, mostly thinking a bad player would randomly bet one pair here. He had J8o for bottom end of it, shrug.

It's hardly a disaster when he checks turn. A ton of bad cards can come, and we'll lose a lot more when behind than we gain when ahead for a few reasons.
