With no reads, I'd be very inclined to just fold the flop. Is that wrong?

In any case, looks like a good table.

I thought investing 2 SB to win 9 on that board was worth a shot. When the 2nd Q came on the turn, I was less afraid Button had one (although I would have folded to a raise there). After checking the river I hope for a bluff from a missed flush draw or small PP, and then call down.

I like the turn and river play since you can expect to be bluffed at far more often than called down by a worse hand.

I usually figure that with 7-8 donks in it preflop, someone has a flush draw, someone has overcards (to your pair) and they'll stick around a bit, and then our equity just goes down.

This is an extremely obvious raise/fold scenario and I'm not entirely convinced which one is better. It's probably close. If it were bet and called in at least one spot before it got to you, it's a clear fold, although if I hold the 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], might as well take the 5 out draw if the table figures to be passive enough.
