Question- when do you lead into a raiser? - Page 3

I definitely donk sets into multi-way pots.

I usually donk combo-draws, looking to 3-bet AI.

Occasionally I donk air in a HU pot just so that they don't put me on a monster every time.

Leading with mediocre hands isn't good. Your aim should be to get to a showdown cheaply. Check/calling might make for tougher decisions, but it is +EV.

Yes, but leading with mediocre hands can get you to showdown cheaply if you have good relative position and the raiser folds. You don't always get raised when you bet out.

I agree with that. However, leading with junk is a good play to mix it up with.

OK I was thinking more about HU. Multiway, a CB from a hand that whiffed is less likely, making leading more profitable relative to c/c
