0,25/0,50 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.7 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.

UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, BU folds, Hero calls, BB raises, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (12,00 SB) 5♣, J♣, 3♣ (6 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO folds, Hero raises, BB calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds.

Turn: (9,50 BB) 9♣ (3 players)

River: (9,50 BB) J♥ (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 12,50 BB

two questions:
- Is pre-flop ok?
- Should I donk the flop to protect against redraws, or is the played line to keep everyone in ok? Given the number opponents and the already sizeable pot, I now think the donk is better...

for me this is a fold preflop.

and i think you have to donk to kick people out. pot is already big

preflop is ok. you are getting 9 to 1 which is by far enough to complete with any two suited.
i also think that a donk would have been better. if you are pretty sure that BB will bet out a check/raise is better because you want to get some money in the pot. a hand with a redraw wouldn´t fold no matter if you bet or check/raise :)
