Did I play this right? After a cap I thought there was a reasonable chance of a full house. Or should I have donked the river and called a raise?

I like a donk/call on the river more than c/c, also I don't mind checkraise/call (I guess that's what I would do). The reason is that there aren't really much full houses in his range, mostly just strong Ax. I believe he would very well cap the turn with AT+ and a flushdraw. Also, I think people at lower limits often overplay their trips and just think in absolute hand strength.

Oh, and you shouldn't donk the flop without a good reason. Go for a checkraise.

Hi!

I would c/r flop as default but donking it is fine as well. You really dont want to loose value when they check behind and that is not that unlikely.

Donking river makes no sense to me. I would expect him to cbet river 99% here so if we think we are favourites(slightly less than 66% is required) then c/r is in order and if not then c/c is the play. I think its again boarderline but I would probably just c/c as default against unknown seemingly passive player. We only beat worse flush(which may not even cap turn) and some overplayed Ax(which against have to be discounted(as they definatelly shouldnt cap turn). If we had Khigh flush I would c/r but in this case I think we going to get 3bet every time with FH and often with Khigh flush.Since we cannot fold to cap we need almost 66% equity to 3bet here which I dont think we do.
