PLO50 T997ss donk bet flop?

yepp think its a nice hand to go ahead and bet. and your points about x/c; x/r are solid imo + getting folds here by overpairs or 1 pair is already good achievement backed up with nice playability on future streets to keep barreling

So, in general, I think it is a bad idea to donk here, better to check raise, but against a passive opponent who isn't c-betting much or who doesn't bet much in general it is fine to make an exploitative adjustment and take the lead.

I disagree with your evaluation of our hand. It is an absolute monster and we are delighted to play for stacks.

100bb deep sure it's fine to x-r. Over 200bb deep I question that. If villain goes for 3bet on flop it's pretty much top set or monster draw that dominates my hand. So while I agree hand is strong it's perhaps not quite strong enough. If flop was K86 it's different story.

solver would lead here 60% T997 with FD vs mp open, 65% vs co and vs ep 77%. (100bb)
as an overview to adjust to the tighter image

i also dont think that our main goal here should be to get it in against his tight range and in first place just target his overpair/top pair heavy range to get folds now or on later streets
