Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

$0.5/$1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J:h, T:h.
MP2 raises, MP3 folds, CO calls, BU calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (10 SB) 2:h, 5:h, 9:h (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP2 folds, CO calls, BU calls, SB folds.

Turn: (6.5 BB) J:d (3 players)
Hero bets, CO folds, BU calls.

River: (8.5 BB) 5:s (2 players)
Hero bets, BU folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: 8.5 BB.

MP2: 31/21/17.2/2.0 (VPIP/PFR/3B/AF) VPIP from EP 8%
CO: 74/14/4.8/0.9
BU: 30/22/9.2/1.8

The question: How to play this hand on the flop and river ?

I would like to fastplay this hand because:
- It's multiway pot and preflop raiser never bet this board again without a good hand.
- I'm not sure if anyone bet this flop (x/rs)
- Draws will pay me off on the flop and turn
- From time to time CO will go to SD with some pair
On the river I think bluff induction is better.

You played that hand well. donk on the flop is fine as it's even 5handed and if MP2 does not have any high flushdraw, he won't probably be continuation betting so take the initiative yourself. It would be horrible to waste a freecard. And with a donkbet you can represent some weak pairs and you'll be raised by enough worse hands to play donk/3bet. you should definitely remind you of the fact that slowplaying is never good. just in a few cases. lets say you are second to act and the first guy donks into you and you have KK on K44. And 2 guys behind you who may still decide to call. But in any other case you hand is mostly too vulnerable and second reason is that you wanna build a pot.

Once you did bet the flop, you have to pursue on the Turn because you'll get value from their flushdraws, KQ KT etc but once you showed to have a strong hand by betting the flop, it may look suspicious when you check the turn in order to checkraise. Opponents will take the freecard many times. Refered to the flopplay. When its 4handed+ and you have a good hand that doesn'T want to see a checkthrough, just donk as a general line. as you did in this hand. well played!
