Okay, I could have

KJ - 9 ways
KT - 9 ways
JT - 9 ways, I definitely cr this though.
Q9 - 16 ways

or

KQ - 12 ways
QJ - 12 ways
K9 - 12 ways
QT - 12 ways
2clubs + a pair - a few ways.

The thing is I feel pretty secure betting my strong Q draws (maybe I shouldn't because a split is likely).

What is your logic behind donkbetting with QJ, QT?

You are behind the big majority of the time in a four-way pot.
You are very unlikly to take it down UI.

Your draw is weak.
3 outs to Q improve any A, 9 to a straight. (Very bad)
Your 2 trips outs are a bit tainted. (will maybe win you the pot 50%-75%)

You out yourself at risk of getting raised (and 3-bet).
I just don't see why you aren't check-calling QJ, QT?


KQ, K9 I can see... because you don't want to risk giving a free card?
