preflop very standard, i want to invite the small blind in, so I'm not really looking to 3b the loose player to my right.

OTF it gets checked through, I don't want to let any more overcards come because the fish is incapable of folding if he hits something, and the pfr doesn't seem too interested in the hand. After I bet i get 2 callers, I'm not too worried about the fish's range, but the player to my right what hands does he x/c with? Maybe he just doesn't semi bluff because his fold equity is quite low with the fish in the hand, middling pairs also make sense (pocket pairs) A5s 65s etc

OTT definitely no merit to betting here

OTR Villian bets half pot, I'm not at all worried about the fish and even though I'm quite low in my range here, there's not much i lose to.. 56 is the only hand i can put him on that i lose to that he plays this way. I don't ever see him slowplaying a set or top pair with the fish being involved in the hand because betting out 3 streets with that V in the hand is easy money. He's got missed flush draws, A5s turning into a bluff, and the occasional 3 combos of 56

Why are you betting flop? Ap probably a fold

what do you acomplish with donking that flop ????

Flop isn't a donk bet.

He is betting for value and protection I assume.

I dont hate betting flop for protection and to take down the pot right there. we might have the best hand a decent amount of the time. When i get called i would be pretty mouch through with the hand

we most likely have the best hand on flop, betting for protection and decent fold equity. Hand is WP, i'm folding river, this seems like a thin v-bet from villain.

I vote fold.
I like the half pot stab on the flop - try to win that money but CO is the aggressor, CO's call puts that Q or a set in range.
Save your chips for a better spot.

I didn't donk, I never donk/lead out. (Unless in limped pots) it checked around I decided to bet here for protection/value.

What hands does he have in his value range though?

I just don't think his range is ever a queen/set here why wouldn't he try to go for 3 streets of value? A queen is way too vulnerable to check flop 3 ways aswell

TT and JJ are the only value hands I can think of

fold

Easy fold, CO has weak Q and maybe 2nd pair for value, rarely bluffing.

Turtol;

I would think he isn't betting for 3 streets of value because this is microstakes poker and most of these players are not good. Their plays are not +EV and they play irrationally.
Plus I notice, at these stakes, a lot of pre flop aggression followed by uneasy post play and weird turn and river bets. Typically when they have top pair.

Only my thoughts, I'm not a successful player, I'm still learning.
