Wow, I don't know if I could let myself get crippled there. Pot-sized donkbet followed by a 3/4 pot push on a scary turn card. I definitly go with pushing the flop there. If he flopped a set, so be it. He's probably on some sort of pair+FD combo. I charge him the max to chase his draw. I don't like calling the flop and then calling that turn.

It's a big bet that villain has made on the flop. He also did this instead of check-raising which has to mean something. It actually makes it a bit confusing as I would expect a good top pair hand to check-raise such as KQ. TT or JJ might have re-raised pre-flop and a lower pair might do a lot of things I suppose.
Could be a bluff or a draw too.
I think pushing is what I would do here. I should get called by a good top-pair hand and some draws too.
Calling to try to get more value out of the hand is tricky. It can always back-fire and I don't really see what it does. Something like 77 should fold to a push but might call a river bet if the cards fall right. Very flimsey so I think it is safest just to push.
On the turn it is worrying but I think I would have to call.
