KQs NL5 SH

Very difficult to say what is the correct move as played. There is some things I would change this hand. First this would be a standard call for me vs UTG without proper info on him. Then I don't see any reason to raise the flop? As played, flip a coin and decide between fold and shove.

It is a standard call for me but he is playing only 1 table thus he might be fishy and he opens for 2bb from UTG, that is why I 3bet. Raising that flop because it's a MW pot, flop is really drawy and he donk bets 1/3 which very often will be a draw thus I dont want to give away a free cards.

When villain donks multiway he can have pretty much anything. Still there are many better hands possible and you have to remember that SB is in the pot too. He can easily hold a set or 2pair. Imo by raising you will isolate yourself against a strong range.

Very easy answer - Do not raise and do not make pot bigger.

Agree. No raising. Give him a chance to bluff you.

i would raise otf, but i would raise larger vs this guy like at least 3x...i dont think we acomplish much by raising 2.5x..as played and line he took that includes min raising ott if we shove i think we will overplay our hand..and we are not good here most of the time

I agree, if he has a draw, raising him that low still gives him great pot odds to call. If he reraises then it's easy fold.

I got no info on him but still, how often would You expect him to donk bet like that with some pure bluff ? And if it's mostly some semi-bluff draw then why would I let him see another card so cheaply ? There are dozens of bad turns for me. Once I face further aggression either from UTG or SB then I just fold.

If he might have draws like that, then he's got quite a bit of equity and by donking that low and me not raising, I'm letting him play perfectly not getting any value.

When I give him sets and 2 pairs then it's close to coinflip. But I still think raising is good as if he has a set, he's probably going for a reraise and as I mentioned, it makes it easy for me to fold, and if he has a draw then most likely he will just call and I get most value out of that part of his range. Just for the record, if the flop would have been something like K♥:7♦:2♠: - obviously I dont raise.

I meant that with raising you will narrow his range.
He can have bluffs too.
