I would have led the flop.

As played, I call and donk a safe turn.

I raise here. Partly to attempt to dissuade drawing hands (won't happen very often [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) and mostly to build the pot for the majority of times they don't hit. If MP2 three bets I call down, hating it.

Aww.. Are these guys aggressive preflop? If they are KQ and sets should be out of the question. So 87s, JT, and Ax[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] are the only combos you are behind now.

I'm tempted to raise but I think waiting to see a safe turn has it's merits too. Any [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (9), K (3), Q (3), T (3), 8 (3), or 7 (3) can be bad news for your hand. That's 24 cards = more than half the deck.

I wait for a safe turn and try for a c/r. The pot is only 3.25BB on the turn so a free card wouldn't be a disaster.

I take this line as well. When the turn is the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] you can fold.

lead the flop, you don't want to give any free cards on this board. As played I would call the flop and donk a save-looking turn...

Wow, shi**y board.

I'd probably just bet and hope to pick up the pot right there.

Bet flop
Bet turn
River depends on prior streets

Hopefully the board doesn't get any nastier.

I lead the flop. With only three players in, there's too high a risk of a check-through if we don't lead it.

As played, I raise the flop.
