PF- dont raise- its a multy way hand. u need others
Flop- dont donk. and raise he's bet. u have a mid pair. try to get it there.
turn- call down from there.

I think would could limp this preflop and call a raise (maybe if we had limped it would would get some overcallers.)

This is a tough flop for us but we then could c/r it. If villain 3 bets our c/r and or shows aggression on the turn after our check raise we can probably fold it.

PF is usually raise or fold unless there are loosies behind you, I default to raising 'cause it's fun.

Flop donk isn't great, I would check/call and reevalute the turn, possibly donking this particular one.

PF is fine. Limping, hoping for limpers is fine too.

I don't know about the flop donk. Once 3-bet pf, I think I'm c/c'ing -- essentially treating this like a WA/WB. I think it is relatively unlikely that villain will check behind the flop heads up after your check... most villains will bet here hoping to drive you out.

As played, calling the flop is mandatory. On the turn, you're getting 7:1 but villain has told you that you are behind. I suppose there is some slim chance villain has A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K, but I don't think you are ahead the 2 in 8 times you'll need to be to call turn and river.

Check-call flop, donk-fold turn.

pf it's a raise all the time for me, just imagine you play 6 handed you'd raise it there so you raise it here, limping is weak unless there are really fishy players behind...

C/R line is a bit over the top after the 3 bet pf
B/C line is the line i choose, because i wanted some information, if he had something like AJo+,KQo non hearts he wouldn't raise maybe even fold
C/C line is probably better

PF: Raise or limp, either way is fine to mix. I noticed in .5/1 that open limping in MP often gets punished with a raise behind you. Observant TAGs will notice you're limping these kind of hands and expand their raising range to get it heads up.

Flop: You have no reason what so ever to donk here. You got TPMK on a draw heavy board. Seeing that he RR PF and you don't have a heart you're probably a big dog here. Over how many hands is his stats? I'd c/c here and see what the turn brings.

Turn: As played, c/f turn.
