Have been looking for those leaks, I have found a few (dozen) but I am not totally sure about this one. I think vs two people on the flop, when one of them bet this is most likely a fold. What do you think?

My thoughts are, in review, SB needs something to play along pre, though not much. However on this flop with SB betting into two folk I am going to snap fold it as their range has me beat so far except for the draws which appear to have more equity than my own hand anyway. I didn't fold.

Without a read on the players, I wouldn't expect the SB to be sophisticated enough to specifically bet because there are two others in the pot. I think he looked at the flop and decided he would bet because he has a T, 7, 4, 56, or 89.

Do I fold? Yes. I think people who like to float would call here because “they have 6 outs.” This isn't the type of hand to call to take away on the turn, because I think he calls to the river with pair hands, and more of his range is pairs than draws. All his bet tells me is that I have no showdown value.

pretty simple fold. 3 handed, we have a player behind OTB, so floating here is far less appealing than if it were HU and we were IP. If you feel you want to play this hand it’s far better to raise the donk bet here and rep an over pair. but I still fold and move on to the next hand here. Think calling is the worst option.

I do like raising better than flatting, but I can make a case that if you float the donk lead, you could raise the turn and really put him to the test. But at 60/120/15 (50+BB) do I really need to introduce FPS?

What is your plan if the turn blanks and he leads again? fold? Then fold now? raise no matter what turn comes? Then ok, but too early in MTT for my taste.
