    I've mixed in a balance of also donking hands like this (overs+bdfd, on a two tone flop).

    You have lots of good turn cards you can bet (any spade (11), K/Q (6), diamond (11) - 28 cards, so 56% of the time)

    The benefit is that your bluff has to work less often, due to the amount you're risking. It's also cheaper to rep the flush once that falls, but that card still has a lot of fold equity.

    The negative is that you don't get villains bet, when he b/f.

    Do you agree that given his cbet of 86%, he is probably cbetting 100% on this flop?

    If yes, would you still sometimes donk here?

    I can see leading vs someone who is more inclined to check back, but I think we lose value here.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    It's a risk vs reward trade-off i guess.

    I donk to not bloat the pot and keep my ability to go three streets for a bluff here at a lower cost. C/R you obviously get the value of his bet but to go 3 streets you now have to risk your stack.

    Also on a board like this where a lot of two pairs aren't possible, I think donking and barreling has a wider credible range of hands.
