I don't like donking because we give up free cbet money with the massive range of hands that raises and misses the flop. It's one of the great things about just calling preflop.

So I like either c/call or c/raise depending on many things. Normally I'll just c/raise. It's kinda turning our hand into a bluff but not really because villain can call with draws and stuff like A7 (and sometimes I'll c/r and get it in.) Another advantage of c/raising is we get protection against the large number of hands that are behind, won't call a raise but have outs to improve and beat us. Also by c/calling we may get outplayed on scary turns.


c/call followed by turn lead doesn't make a huge amount of sense to me compared with c/raise as you give him an extra card to improve and beat our hand.
