T9s play along

Concur. For clarity, you mean they won't raise often with a worse hand (such as overcards), not that they won't raise an overpair right? Because if they're only knocking out others when we're drawing anyway it doesn't do us a great deal of good.

I think this is exactly the point.

I didn't think there was much value in getting the pfr to raise my donk bet as no hands that I want to fold are going to fold for 2 bets anyway. So I decided to take the check and see what develops route with the intention of c/r'ing if the pot was short handed back to me, check/calling if there were a lot of people and looking to do something on a safe turn, and folding to a lot of action.

Flop: (14.00 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, Hero.

We cool with a cold call here? 3-bet? Fold? What's the plan for various turns?

I'm playing the flop identically and betting the turn about 1/3 of the time.

Which turns do you bet?

I call the flop and check the turn. Our hand is starting to look bad, it could well be that we are drawing to only 5 outs.
