I usually donk bet strong - flopped set, for example - and/or when I can squeeze a guy behind me. If the PFR is the one in between me and another cold caller, I definitely wouldn't donk bet (because I don't want him to raise and drive the other player out), but if the preflop raiser was the last to act, that's a good spot to squeeze the guy in the middle if you have a big hand. So, it really depends.
Generally though, I don't donk bet much. Heads Up, I'd prefer to check raise or check/call, depending how strong my hand is (or check/fold, of course). But on some flops against the right type of opponent, the donk bet will work too. Sorry if this isn't a good explanation, but it's very situation dependent. |

I understand what you were saying. I usually "donk bet" when I flop top pair. The result is usually either they fold or go over the top. I hate flopping top pair with an Ace kicker and he over the tops me.

And that's exactly why I like raising the donk bet. When you lead out with TP and I raise you, you're in a bad spot, especially knowing you might be facing two more bets before you get to showdown. Now that you've led out and helped build the pot, you have to decide if you're willing to put your whole stack in with TPTK, because it certainly might come down to that.
I think donk betting with TP is a very bad play. |

With that situation would you call the eventual bet, over the top him, fold or use all 3 on a situation by situation approach? Assuming you didn't donk bet but checked?

Situation dependent. I try not to cold call often from OOP in the first place though, especially with hands that will results in this TPTK mess of a situation situation. If I'm cold calling OOP like this, I'm not looking to flop TP with my hand, and generally, I'm willing to give it up if I do.
