Default Re: Tough spot w/Set multi way 200 BB deep

I think an argument can be made for donk betting - but if you get reraised by the UTG raiser (as in this case), can we put him only on sets or pair+OESD? Overpairs do make up a good portion of his range from UTG. So here's my thoughts on the lines:

A) donk bet. If I get raised I can still think that he could have AA/KK and other hands. It doesn't define his hand as much as the C/R. So on the donk bet, I would think that it would be more likely to get a lot of chips in. Also, I'm not sure what other hands I would donk bet to balance this that I would have just called other than maybe 45c type of hands.

B) C/R - even though this line looks really strong, and it does define my hand, it also defines his (making both our actions more pure, and our hands more readable). I don't know that he would 3 bet bluff AA/KK all in often enough to make getting stacks in here.

So I that boils it down to I took line B and should fold.
