Hi,

this is a scenario I'm facing soooo often.
I see this donk vs 2 players (also vs 1 player) as pretty strong, but so many times I see also that they are just bluffing...
how would you play this hand and equal ones in general?

Poker Stars, $0.92 Buy-in (10/20 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 500 (25 bb)
BB: 500 (25 bb)
Hero (BTN): 500 (25 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 9♠: A♥:
Hero raises to 40, SB calls 30, BB calls 20

Flop: (120) 8♥: K♦: 7♣: (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets 60, 2 folds

Results:

Spoiler

120 pot
Final Board: 8♥: K♦: 7♣:
SB mucked and lost (-40 net)
BB mucked and won 120 (80 net)
Hero mucked 9♠: A♥: and lost (-40 net)

Without hitting something you can’t do much else then folding. I don’t think people will bluff often against 2 players and it’s tough to continue with small stacks like this without much room to move. If you raise you could easy end up committed.
