Donking with K high

[NLSoldier]

10/20 4 handed.

button seems to be a multitabling TAG. SB is unknown.

button opens, sb calls, I call in big with KQo.

Flop is 664r. sb checks, I bet...

Thoughts?

yeah i was gonna do that, but it was about the time that i decided to just call that I decided I was gonna donk alot of flops.

What's your plan if you are raised?

I'd show down UI against button's range np, so the question is what to do about SB. TAG probably won't raise and knock him out with a worse hand and c/ring the field is asking for all sorts of trouble, so... I like a check and peel. On the turn you can check again if you whiff and either see how the other two players act or get a free card. Either of those two results seems good.

I think by taking the initiative here you're just setting up all sorts of problems later on in the hand.

I would check, if the action goes button bets, SB folds I would call and donk the turn. If SB calls I either call and hope for a cheap river or just fold the flop.

dont you think betting the flop has a better chance of getting sb to fold than checking and letting button bet?

also, dont you think the flop+turn bet has a better chance of getting button off ace high then the check/call donk.

i think A hi is coming here, at least for one bet, opens u up to a bluff raise, similar hand posted a few days ago. donking shouldnt get u anywhere cept maybe w/ teh SB depending on the buttons action, bottem line, most the time ure going to have at least one opponent coming, u may not have position on him the rest of hand and if you do you are probably behind and drawing thin. i like cc and donk - maximizes folding equity and doesnt set u up to be outplayd as much.

If the button raises the flop are you donking the turn again? IMO the flop check-call, turn donk is a little scarier than the lead flop and turn line and will have better success at folding out an Ace high hand. You will also save half a bet the times button or SB does have a real hand.

Another option to think about is if you check, button bets and SB calls you can checkraise to represent a real strong hand. That's a little more risque though.
