Donk-betting the flop leaves your opponent in control of the pot size and the situation. Also, it's hard to both donk-bet your good hands and have hands left over that are worth calling if you check and he continuation bets; so either your donk-bet range is going to be quite weak, or your checking range will be quite weak, and in either case you're giving your opponent useful info about the strength of your hand while having no info on his, which is IMO a poor situation.

I hadn't thought of it like that - thanks.

Also, do you advocate a standard raise from the button, or do you vary the size of your raise? If the latter, do you do so based on any factors, or is it just random?
