$400 NLHE Full Ring: $500 NLHE Live

UTG min-raises to $10. There are 5 callers.

UTG is the shortest stack with 100 BB.

Hero has 130 BB in the SB with Th8h. I call and BB calls, almost a family pot.

Flop Kh Qh 8d...Hero? And don't tell me to fold pre! haha jk

I wasn't sure if I should: Donk, c/r or c/c because of how many villains we are facing.

UTG recently sat down but I did see him showdown twice, 1 orbit ago, in EP with AK/AQ. So, I assume his EP range is pretty standard until I see otherwise. Suited broadway and 99+, maybe.

So, I believe UTG definitely hit this board in some way and probably hard with straight draw, 2 pair, TPTK, etc.

I donk.
Normally I like c/c lines with draws+pairs but against this many opponents I think our showdown value is negligible. Add to this we're playing live so our trip and twopair outs are more likely to make money vs weaker hands when they hit and our flush draws outs have greater implied odds and I'm happy to take control of the betting and build this pot up.

We have pretty good relative position on the raiser & a draw that isn't a great flush draw in a multi-way pot. I'm checking.

Check/call barring seriously sick action like bet/raise/shove. I'm not really excited about getting it in here.

What I do depends on my reads for the original raiser
If the OR will likely make a typical live bet of $15-$20 then I'm check/call
If the OR will pot it but not 3-bet then I would donk-bet $20 as a blocking bet
Otherwise I'm check/fold
