Checking top pair to the preflop raiser is standard; leading out (donking) into a range advantage is a significant mistake.
Flop Analysis
Leading into the preflop raiser (donk betting) is a pure mistake here. We should check our entire range to the aggressor who holds the range advantage.
Note: Donk betting top pair is a significant error; you should check to the aggressor to protect your range and allow them to bluff.
Turn Analysis
Checking is correct. The Queen is a better card for the UTG+1 range, and our top pair now functions as a high-frequency check-call.
River Analysis
After the turn goes check-check, a small block bet or check-call is reasonable, but betting large into a board that just completed several straights is risky.
River Analysis
We are getting excellent pot odds to call the min-raise, though we are rarely ahead when Villain raises this specific runout.
