    Default Teach me to not be a passive donkAY

    My image is pretty aggro, and people are starting to play back at my preflop raises. I feel both players have a pretty wide range on the flop. I check the river for fear of a checkraise... bad logic? How many of you are betting this river in a multiway pot like this?

    Button ($67.70)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with Q, A.
    UTG raises to $1, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, SB calls $3.75, 1 fold, UTG calls $3.

    checking through the turn is fine because of A10, AJ, A7 but i definately bet river for value. on the small chance a c/r does happen you can get away easy cuz no one c/r bluffs this river

    I dont ever cbet that flop 3-way because of what just happened. Both players are obviously donkish and will call here with a huge range.

    Check flop/bet turn/maybe bet river.

    i think you missed a lot of value in this hand.

    Hmmm, checking the flop is seems like a good idea that didn't really even cross my mind.

    Yup, this seems pretty optimal. As played though, is there really value in betting the river? I have pretty much the worst hand that could win the pot, unless you think KK/QQ is calling a river bet. I guess with an aggro image betting this river is standard in this spot hoping to get loose calls though, right?
