you had to play the hand the way you did .. well played just got rivered .. can't do nothin but move on

So the only action even worth considering pre- was to call a 6x opening with KQo sitting OOP?

true, i should highlight however this guy was playing loose opening alot of pots, so i think calling QKs is fairly standard? was more interested in post flop play.

is 6x his normal raise sizing? whats our plan postflop? can he fold at all postflop?

keep in mind, most of the time here we miss the flop, we check, he c-bets and we fold. we just gave him a ton of chips by calling a 6x raise. it's also a pretty big chunk of our stack. just fold if 6x is unusual, because most of the time people have really good hands when they change habits suddenly. also, we really cannot do anything fancy postflop like donk leading, or check/floating, because he likely isn't thinking/doesnt really care. you are much better off waiting for a value hand and exploiting the fact that these players likely cannot fold hands that they should,

Okay, then what were your considerations pro and con for donking the flop?

Am I missing where everyone's stack sizes are at?

Generally I'd say either fold the KQ preflop, or 3bet as a bluff with it. if he 4 bets you, then you let it go. sometimes flatting with it is OK I guess.

On the flop, if he is aggressive then we should "check to the leader" and let him bet, then check raise, potentially all in if the stack sizes work out.

now, in this particular situation he might still call because he has the nut flush draw...but who knows, he might have folded.
