OOP, what is the best line here?
Since I hit TPTK and the board is very wet I have either the choice to donkbet or to checkraise.
With a donkbet if I raise high enough to dissuade draws, any hand that isn't a set or two-pair should fold and my basic aim is to pick up the pot. Aside from fish chasing draws against any odds there should be no hand stronger than mine that would call and none weaker that would not fold.
With a checkraise I am basically doing the same but I eliminate all draws and my hand is essentially a bluffcatcher. If he 4bets/shoves I have no choice but to fold.
So is this purely villain dependent? If a villain has a very high bet vs missed cbet I can checkraise and pickup the bigger pot and otherwise I should just cbet standard 70% of the pot?
