Donking madness makes me feel lost.

Ok, so no reads on the table. On the turn, sb had a very hesitated call. I'm pretty damn sure I'm still ahead on the river, but I figure I'd go for the overcall after the hesitation. But hey, maybe sb will call two cold anyways. Can someone tell me the best way to play this hand?

Super, wheres the 3rd raise on the river though?

Since you beat the QJ 2 pair, raise the river.

Looks like a missed opportunity for a reverse trifecta.

overcall = might get one bet (and SB has certainly played his hand like a draw)

raise = get at least one bet, possibly 3

you shouldn't be to worried about not having the best hand, easy raise.

You have to punish the donkers with extreme prejudice.

I vote for value raising the river. Since MP has called everything else no reason to expect he won't continue and the SB might come along as well. If the SB was on a draw and missed you won't even pick up the overcall. Calling gains you 1 BB at the most while raising gets you at least 1 BB and if maybe 3 BB.

well i hate to say this but i really thought sb had a hand here, because of the hesitation in calling the turn. i know its online and many things can go wrong, but if sbs hand (8,8) btw was faceup does that change the way you play this?
