Do we have any backdoor flush draws besides backdoor straight draw? In general, I'd treat donking like a check. If you were planning to c-bet the flop, then you should raise and try and take it down. But this is a general statement using a general example.

Even 2/3rd+ pot sized donk bets come in two types of players. The ones that want to bet their middle, bottom pair, or air to try and take a pot down because they aren't sure how to play it postflop, or don't really have a plan. And then the ones that are betting top pair plus and just bet when they have a hand. Against players that you don't have info on, you have to sort those out pretty quick, but in general at micro and small stakes you're going to find a higher percentage of the first example rather than the later.

The most common example of donking that can be stolen is when you raise from the CO or btn, and a blind (especially the BB) flats and they donk into you. There are a ton of flop textures you can raise and re-steal. I wouldn't advise floating these kinds of donk bets because a lot of times you look at a second barrel without knowing where you are against an opponent who may not be able to fold anymore but will give up when the pot is smaller.
