Ok.

AQ o/s out of the SB, I'll 3-bet this maybe about half the time dependant on who raises etc. Elect to flat as the limper utg is solid enough player, and the raiser is also solid so i'm guessing he knows utg has some sort of hand and is still prepared to raise.

Flop top, top. Obviously a wet board. I don't really want to c/r this sort of board as only going to get action from hands that have me crushed. c/c is a bit sucky as I find out nothing, allow others into pots with draws and give free cards out to the better. Whats the best thing to do here?

I donk out a Pot bet £10, then re-assess. mainly to thin the field and protect against draws

also if they fold then wouldn't mind taking the pot, hand not shown with what could be a dangerous board especially if multiway

The_Don90

as young gun says i donkbet. although im more of a check/raise fan. but youhve said u do not wsh to do this

Don't fold.

c/c or c/r if they'll call with worse obv!

B c-bets most flops, C has just joined the table, A is quite TAG, not seen alot but seem a strongish player, D is a fish.

I decided to donk out on the flop, thought this was the best way to thin the field and if i face a raise I'm getting out of there.

I don't know why but I only donked out for a 5er, should have made it 7/8 I think.

I never really consider the donk bet but for this situation I thought it probably the best way to play and just wanted to gauge other opinions on this as explained I wasn't sure c/c or c/r were viable in these spots.

How about folding pre flop?

What wud u think of that?

I'd think you misclicked.

5 is way too small to lead, 8 ftw. would rather c/c though I think depending on the players ofc.

Defo should have led for more.

I knew this.

Just not a spot come across too often, AQ multi-way when I'm not the pre-flop aggressor.

I didn't fancy c/c as sooo many turn cards I'm going to hate, I thought donking out I would get rid of a couple of players and re-assess turn.

If I'm raised after donking out then I'm folding.

erm, is the pfr always betting this board multiway? if not then leading is probably better. if they do then c/r ftw

They have enough savvy not to bet this kind of flop without something. So no way is it gtd for them to bet out.

You called with AQ in SB knowing it was a 3 way pot so this flop is is as good as we hoped for. IMO you have to bet or raise a continuation bet if you get action its down to your reads.

LOL_RAISE

so wayne your plan would be to check/raise and then decide what  to do next after you get 3bet or called?

Anyone Squeeze this to £6??? If utg was solid shouldnt be limping utg with any sort of strong hand. Button iso-raiser should also respect that you havnt done this before

If it was a squeeze it'd be to £8.50.

And i've done it to the iso-raiser allllllllllllllot over the times we've played!

I actually like the donk lead to get value out of sd's/fd's/worse Q's, especially if we dont think the pf raiser is going to c-bet much and/or may check behind with hands with s/d value like AJ etc.
