    Think so too. Would do the same thing with TT.

    i think we need more information then donk. how do they act preflop? are we turning this hand into a bluff or is this for value?

    very marginal but with all the dead money in the pot it could be argued its borderline +ev. However i expect to see atleast one of the villains and not necessarily the bb to have a poorly played jj/qq here and youll get snapped off, or simply ak/aq and youll be racing, thats basically why i dont like it, id just call and reevaluate postflop though i dont especially like that play either :/.

    Depends on what I think of the BB.

    yeah there's a lot of different types of 'donk' and only a sepcific type I'd do this against.

    The original raiser is is a tight/passive running about 30/10. I've been picking on him a bit so I expect to get called light by him. The BB is a 30/20 or so and I think I have seen him squeezed before.

    yah I agree, this entirely depends on what I think of BB.

    Fact is, if he's not a compulsive crazy aggro squeezer, and he's squeezing in a very obvious squeeze spot AND he's squeezing an UTG open that I'd say you could be facing an overpair a large percentage of the time.

    With all the dead money though its probably close. Depends how much you like flipping! Also if all the other players are donks, BB prob has a good enough hand to be called by all these donks.

    I might just flat here and hope to hit a set in a big pot.
