0.5/1e turned the straight on a paired board +flush possible, facing all-in raise on the river.

Hello everyone
So the villain in this hand is an older gentleman who's pretty passive and been nice to everyone. He has about 180 euro and I cover him.

preflop:
Villain raises to 4 in MP, one caller (short stack, around 60e) in LP, Hero calls in BB with AJ

flop (12): QTT
Hero bets 5, Villain calls and the other guy folds.

Turn (22): K
Hero bets 10, Villain raises to 20. Hero calls. (it's already a red-flag, I put him on a straight/a flush/trip T with a draw/full house)

River (62): 2
Hero bets 30, Villain thinks for a bit and raises all in to 150. Hero folds.

Should I check-call or check-fold instead?

Thanks in advance

What's with the donk bet on the flop?


Flop bet is not that bad. River is a clear check/decide. Why are you leading the river??? Fold as played.


check turn. river donk is lol.


Why are you donking flop? And the river donk is :O with a pure bluff catcher after turn action.

As played river fold is obvious.


Preflop doesn't feel great, but nothing really feels great. Against a passive opponent I mostly fold with the occasional squeeze. Calling just feels like you're in low stakes passive hell with an easily dominated hand, out of position, multiway against a passive player who has raised.

I don't hate the flop donk tbh but you've got to have a plan for it. (Turn is fine).

I do hate the river donk.

Notice that you block both AT and JT and that might lean things towards a river check-fold but the whole hand is a bit of a mess.
