SB: $18.88 (118 bb)
Hero (BB): $17.16 (107.3 bb)
UTG: $22.35 (139.7 bb)
MP: $18.69 (116.8 bb)
CO: $9 (56.3 bb)
BTN: $15.81 (98.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q♦: A♠:
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.48, 2 folds, SB calls $0.40, Hero calls $0.32

Flop: ($1.44) Q♣: 8♣: A♥: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.80, MP raises to $2.40, SB folds, Hero??

Preflop: MP plays 23/19 in 188 hands. Looks like a reg. I could squeeze, but decided to call.

Flop: Hit top two pairs, so so decided to donk to prevent MP checking back mid strenght hands and to avoid giving free cards. Then MP raises. There are 1 combo of AA, 1 combo of QQ and 3 combos of 88 that beat me. I expect him to have also some AK, flushdraws and A8. I believe folding is out of question. Call, 3bet ~2,5X or shove?

If he has only sets, AKs and A8 you already have over 50% equity. I guess it is fine to put your money in as a favorite but would shove be a bit big? Maybe standard 3bet?

If villain is not fish, I´m just calling his raise. If we shove, he is not calling with hand we beat imo.

As played I would call his raise flop.
But I would had prefer a line like : Squeeze PF (I prefer call AQs in that spot OOP).
And if just call PF I would x/c or x/r flop but I'm not a fan of donk here.
By taking initiative from him flop and betting : he fold some of the hand you beat (weak draw that could cbet often; etc.) and you get paid by hand that beat you. The rest of hands from which you will extract most value (AK;AJ;AT) will definitively bet imo.
Conclusion : I see no value betting.

We are multiway on a single raised pot, our hand needs a lot of protection. When MW there is too big a risk that all of the guys check and we don't want that. If we bet there will be weaker hands and draws that will call. So leading OTF is fine imo.
