Small sample size on opponent (33 hands) who appeared loose/passive (VPIP: 52; PFR: 3). Not sure if the raise on the flop against the donk is good as it may overvalue my hand.

Turn is an easy call as the required equity is only 10% and holding TP and the nut FD I have 18% equity even against sets.

Curious about the river here - is this a hand I can get away from or always a call?

Appreciate any advice.

From my experience on NL, after you get minraised at the flop, is unlikely a passive player (given PFR) would be bluffing.

They just don't know how to correctly extract value, then things like that happen.

I do not see the point in raising the flop if you will just call vs a shortstack.

I would raise the flop and shove the turn against shorstack with TP. He is capable of stacking off with alot worse hands.
