SB is a loose fish, he calls pre with a wide range, will call flop with a wide range, likes to donk flops and turns but when he I thought his check call line and then lead was strong, then when he bet big OTR into 2 players I thought his range was pretty strong , thoughts?

MP open raise and then cbet 3/4 pot - thats strong. So calling flop bet in multiway is already borderline.

 

[Sidetracked]

Multiway makes it a closer decision, but if I think MP will fold, calling becomes a better choice.

My experience is that players as bad as SB can show up with just about anything in that spot.

1/2 pot doesnt look that strong to me, SB can do that w/ J9 or JT so calling the river folding to a raise, but we should donk the flop & raising the turn if SB donk bet IMO

I like a donk bet to test the strength of MP, because MP is the only one we are worrying. The river 1/2 pot isn’t strong at all, so calling is fine here. Both V can have TPWK, busted draw, combo draw.

P: fine.

F: fine, multi-way is a concern, but not enough to fold.

T: fine, weird donk is concerning, but we can call one more time unimproved, even multi-way, simply because it's a small bet. We must get ready to fold vs more action.

R: fold, we're multi-way with a player behind.

In these situations I will always beat the fish but will give my chips to the reg behind,,,
