One of my biggest problems, I think, is failing to extract the most from villains who would have called that extra bet or who's calling range I crush. Anyway, that aside, I flop the nuts here, and want to go about extracting the most from it. Do you raise the flop or, it being a relatively dry board, flat call and try get more money in on the turn?

On the turn, we're faced with the donk bet...What does this mean? I assume that we definitely raise on the turn, but how much?

Reads...The donk bettor is 65/17/0.67 over 71 hands
The other villain in the hand is 76/11/0.52 over only 17 hands

RAISE the flop..The only time I would flat is if I had a reason to believe there would be a raise behind me..

I do not play straight slow in multi way pot...To mant turn cards will either kill your hands and/or your action..

In this case though there's no flush draw and no higher straight draw (Except jack-nine for a 3 outter gutshot), the only turn card that possibly kills my hand is the board pairing in the unlikely event it gives someone a house or an 8 in the even less likely event there's j-9 out there and sticking around. Killing my action is a different story, though yeah...
