Turn: ($3.1) 2:c (4 players)
Hero bets $2.00, MP3 calls $2.00, CO folds, BU folds.

River: ($7.1) 6:h (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 checks.

Final Pot: $7.1.
Results follow:

Spoiler

Hero shows a pair of queens(A:c Q:c).
MP3 shows a pair of nines(9:s T:s).

Hero wins with a pair of queens(A:c Q:c).

No sample on anyone. I chose not to squeeze because I have to fold to a reraise and this hand is too good for that, I prefer offsuit broadways to bluff. As played should I have donked the flop?

There is a reason in donking. Why do you bet turn and not bet river?
Donk flop, bet turn, ch/call river?

Because I want to let him bluff with his missed draws.

That's my question. If it's better to just donk this flop because I don't expect a cbet 4way and don't want to give freecards.

How would you like a squeeze pre? good idea or not, and why?

I don't think calling pre and donking flop is necessarily < squeezing pre as we won't always donk flop textures we hit - we might donk a lot of the time when we hit TPTK but are more likely to x/c or x/r if we flop big draws.
I think the two options are pretty close and neither one is bad. If there was a fish you wanted to isolate and some tighter regs then I think it worth a squeeze.

As played - I think leading the river is better as villain may have bet flop or raised turn if they only have a draw with no SD.
