I almost never donk, but I think that it might have been a good idea here.

Since I don't have much experience donking, if I do decide to do so, what would be a good bet size?

Secondary question: Was the check/raise size too large?

Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

Hero (SB): $6.55 (131 bb)
BB: $5.94 (118.8 bb)
UTG: $2.85 (57 bb)
MP: $5.42 (108.4 bb)
CO: $5.62 (112.4 bb)
BTN: $3.04 (60.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2♦:2♥:
2 folds, CO raises to $0.12, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.10, BB calls $0.07

Flop: ($0.36) 2♣:T♠:A♦: (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, CO bets $0.21, Hero raises to $0.75, 2 folds

Cheers,
VS

There is no need to raise this dry flop(it could not be dryer=)) imo. Especially to x/r. X/r vs. 2 others is very strong. I think call and lead the turn might be better, of course depends what the turn card is and how aggressive the opponents are.

Here I would check/call line played by the look of the Board does not imply drows, flush and thus will not polarize your range between set and Bluffs. become more So not been broken for the enemy, all the way to the River I'd spread a big bet:gl: :fouet:

Lead flop vs 2. If anyone holds an Ax he will call you anyway.

in w34z3l's Walktrough series it's suggested to 3bet bluff this preflop. Even we don't have blockers, the reasons behind are that we have a player left to act, we will rarelly hit and capitalize our set since will be OOP postflop and in the long run we will most likelly earn more money by 3betting than flatting thanks to fold equity we have. As played, there is no need to check/raise this flop. I also don't like donking because the board is perfect for him to bluff, maybe even more than 1 street and with donking we will fold out those bluffs. I believe this is a perfect situation for check/calling the flop and, depends how the board develops, the turn. We can lead some rivers, I would say, and sometimes we migh check/raise or check/call.

He will not bluff that often vs 2. Leading is ok.

I didn't notice it's multi-way. So, leading is fine. But at this board I still think that check/calling is better, but then I would like to lead the turn.
