Default Re: 33 in BB...Standard?

[ QUOTE ]
I don't like donking the flop for a reason that was recently explained to me. This more applied to marginal steal defenses in the BB that did not include PP's though. Anyways, the reason we can call 1 SB preflop with a marginal holding is because if we include the "thief's" auto-bet on the flop, we are effectively getting 3.5:1 odds on our preflop call. Donking the flop makes us much more readable, and reduces the odds we were getting on the PF call.

But if you check raise the flop, doesn't that give him the right odds to call with overs?

Also, if you include the auto bet on the flop aren't you getting 4.5:1? There are already 3.5 SBs in the pot when we call PF. Am I missing something?
