Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is SB with 8 :heart: 7 :heart:
UTG calls, 1 fold, CO raises, BTN calls, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls

Flop: (10 SB) 8 :diamond: 5 :diamond: 6 :club: (5 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, UTG folds, CO calls, BTN calls, Hero calls

Turn: (7 BB) J :heart: (4 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, CO calls, BTN folds, Hero calls

River: (10 BB) 7 :club: (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, CO folds, Hero calls

BB is a standard TAG, should I play this hand any differently? maybe the x/c river is way too weak?

Hi!

Im donking these pretty much all the time unless Im sure I have overly agro ppl at the table but even then just donking might be better to induce more action.

On this flop vs 4 ppl its not realistic to assume that CO cbets his entire range... and even others will not just blindly bet very often. And getting it checked around is really something you dont want to happen.You have very good equity with just TP alone not to mention OESD on top of that.Even if CO has AA you have way more than 20% which is fair share vs 4 players....so donk to make sure bet goes in!

If you do go for check it has to be c/r,especially once everydoy calls.CO didnt raise so its very very likely he has overcards,BB donk can mean anything on this board and your TP should be best quite often and bad UTG called so you know what it is(literally anything)....super clear c/r and c/c is very bad imo

As played turn call makes more sense since turncard is not the best and also there are many ppl still hanging in.One other line I can see possible is to donk turn to again prevent it getting checked around its hard to say...bad flop line!

River if you check you definatelly have to call 1:11 He can have whatever and there is FD busted which alone is prolly enough already not to mention worse 2pair or some slowplayed AA or whatever. And also I dont see merit in any other play than to check. If they can be trusted and some players can then exploitable donk/fold here is possible but vs unknown seemingly bad players I would preffer to just c/c
