I was impressed with UTG here - he had 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif8 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I would not have considered the donk bet play here but it looks spot on to me.

Should I have been impressed or have I missed the point?

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls.

Flop: (10 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, SB calls, UTG calls.

<font color="blue"> UTG+1 has plenty of odds to call whether UTG bets or CR, so he lies doggo to see a nice turn card hopefully </font>

Turn: (6.50 BB) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, SB calls.

<font color="blue"> UTG+1 is passive. UTG bets to avoid a free card and although UTG+1 still has odds to draw to 2 overcards he might make a FTOP mistake confused /images/graemlins/confused.gif by the donk bet </font>

River: (9.50 BB) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, SB folds.

<font color="blue">probably still best; no raise on turn so bet </font>

Final Pot: 11.50 BB

Sorry for the bump guys but I'd really appreciate some comments on this.

Am I the only one who found it interesting? /images/graemlins/smile.gif Is it that obvious /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yes, this is proper use of donk bet.
