OTF: I always find that when villains donk small they are either:
:spade: Donking to induce
:heart: or donk/folding
Therefore I decided to raise the flop to get a Tx or some weaker pair to fold. If I get 3b then I am just giving up (unless it is a very small 3b. I have a gutshot and backdoor clubs and I am IP).

Since I have a gutshot and backdoors, which do you prefer and why: raising as a semi bluff or floating?

Hello,

Raising is fine here. I prefer it to calling because by raising we can take the pot down right here and we keep the initiative.

Best,
