[3/6] Is there such a thing as a "donk-check"?

If we were in the button and there were 2 limpers before us, would we still raise? Or is this now a call as we already have absolute position and would like to entice SB / BB to play?

I still typically raise in this situation unless the limpers are the toughest players at the table. Preflop initiative counts for a lot in shorthanded situations.

I don't need to entice the blinds to play because often their forced money does that for me. BBs who overdefend are pretty common.

Thank you, I like the way you played this. He c/r both streets, he may have also improved his hand to a spade flush draw on the turn. Seems like a tricky opponent.

If he c/r you on the river after betting its a fold due to the flush?

I would hate that, I would probably be weak and just check. I am not sure what the best play is.

I was not afraid of a flush. I didn't know what to think after the turn c/r, but if someone 3bets the flop with a backdoor flush draw I'm paying it off.

As of the turn check, I put him on some PP below jacks. The turn c/r confused me so much I just took the showdown.

I have a question about the preflop play of this hand.

Is the raise correct? I would also like to know why this raise is correct? I know this hand plays well multiway / with position but here we don't have enough players to have a large equity edge? Don't we want to entice more players to come into this pot or is this a standard play?
