This hand is totaly butchered imo.

We could squeze prf but I dont mind calling if UTG is realitivly tight.

Im not sure why we donk the flop. We have a good relative postion on the original raiser so a c/r could be nice here since the flop hits his range and we should expect him to cbet alot.

After we donk I def 3bet the flop. If I donk bet the flop I also make it bigger.
Our hand is strong and we can expect value from worse but there are a tone of action killers/suck out cards that can come on the turn.
And in a 3way pot its almost gurranteed some one has a spade.
I like making it like 12$ and jamming any non spade turn.
We can expect to get calls from Ax,combo draws.

Turn and river are just gross. What the hell is the deal with gay betting 2streets in a row?
We can get value from worse and by betting this tiny we let all his draws try to hit for cheap(on the turn) and get litle to no value on the river.

You have some many chances to get stacks in here with top 2, why u dont is a mystery to me...

I’m not sure how this comment helps? The OP isn't bragging about how well he played the hand, he knows he didn't play it right and is asking for thoughts. Like yeah, Politude - what the hell were you thinking GAY betting two streets in a row!!!? Durrr.

Anyway, aside from the strange tone I suspect S93 is right. The preflop call I think is justified but a squeeze probably isn't out of the question if your opponents are known as loose. Check raise the flop and look to shove on the turn if a spade doesn't appear.

Gay bet= a tiny bet compared to pot sized. Is just a term that is used in the online comunity. Isnt suposed to be a put down just a term comonaly used for under bets...

Oh ok. Haven't come across that before. I just thought it seemed a bit...I dunno...angry! But my bad, so apologies.

you must have not had your hand critiqued by c9 yet.

Anyway, yes S93 is right. The donk bet on the flop was weird because you could have got utg to bet and utg+1 to call then you could have popped it to a good amount hopefully to get all your money in by the turn/river.

Your bet sizing on the turn and river are HORRIBLE. Imo you should be betting 3/4 pot that way you can get it all in. You might run into a flopped flush(but that only happens once out of every 121 times i think), and if you do just make a note of how they played it.

Meh, I might consider donking the flop, but more so the lower the buyin level and more so if I have a read that the OR is very passive on the flop. And if so, I'd donk small, so it begs for a raise.

But far more standard play is to check-raise. Either way, what we want is to get the money in, sooner rather than later. Since you've donked, got the raise, just raise it up again.
