$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

Hero (SB): $10.05 (100.5 bb)
BB: $28.82 (288.2 bb)
UTG: $10 (100 bb)
MP: $13.54 (135.4 bb)
CO: $12.78 (127.8 bb)
BTN: $18.43 (184.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6♣: 5♣:
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.30, CO calls $0.30, BTN folds, Hero calls $0.25, BB folds

Flop: ($1) 6♥: 3♠: J♥: (3 players)
Hero bets $0.70, MP folds, CO calls $0.70

Turn: ($2.40) 5♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $1.67, CO calls $1.67

River: ($5.74) 3♣: (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $2.70, Hero folds

Pre: I normally defend only with a 3b or fold in sb but this time bb was a big fish so I wanted him to join the pot so I decided to call.

Flop: flop is dry and we flopped mid pair. We could just x/fold but I think that we can rep 66/33/Jx here and start by donking.

I think that on this dry board we will get enough folds for the donk bet to be profitable. I assume that villains will fold all but Jx, QQ+ and FD;s. We can also bluff good turn/river cards(overs, sometimes hearts depending on what fd;s the heart blocks. Like I would be more likely to barrel K♥: than 2♥: because what possible 2♥: x combos he will have.. Kh blocks a lot of his heart combos and makes Jx more possible --> more fold eq.), or we can improve to trips/2pair.

Turn: Improved to 2 pair so now we are betting for value.

River: Worst possible river card so I must x/f...

Pre: I like your reasoning.

Post: BB left the party. I personally don't think you can represent strongly enough, and blowing people off 3-ways or more is too enterprising (there's often enough one unpredictable player that doesn't understand he should fold 99 or whatever), but that is just my personal opinion.

Preflop and postflop are ok.

When we have a midstrenght hand multi-way, but it looks too weak to check/call, I think donking is always a good option. The rest is also fine imo.
