Why make the play preflop? Save it for when you have a better hand. Flop bet should be bigger around $34 or so.

Check flop IMO.

given the superdonk in the BB who had already called an earlier 3bet of mine cold I think I could have picked a better spot for this pf 3bet. I was 20 tabling at the time and only noticed that CO's ATSB was 28% so I thought I'd make a play to take the pot down there.

is this still leaky if there is not a superdonk in the BB?

this wud b my line as well. Q is all over their ranges by a long shot, and i dont think we create any real FE. checking allows us to improve, and rly hide our hand. no1 will think a 5 or 4 will b hitting our range. also doesnt allow us to get blown off our hand

preflop is fine when there isn't a megadonk in the BB

This kid is genius in response to split suit completely agree... checking hides the hand strength greatly and no one puts you on anything around 54...and if you must bet on the flop bet at least 35-37...

I'm checking the flop here as well. I like preflop occasionally when BB is not a Superdonk.
