Prototypical SSHE table for the most part.

4 limpers, I'm in the CO with QJ and I raise. BB and all limpers call.

6bb, flop 7J3:club

BB donks. 3 callers, I raise, everyone calls.

11bb, turn 4

checks around to me, I bet, everyone calls

16bb, river 7

Checked to the player on my right who donks.

I most certainly would have bet had the donker not donked. Now that the donker has donked, I'm not even considering a fold unless there's a raise *and* a re-raise back to me.

This does NOT feel like a "When you don't want overcalls" situation, and even if it were, I can't imagine a hand that beats top pair that would fold to a raise in a huge pot. Call now, call ONE more bet back to me, fold if raised and reraised.

Thoughts?

Depends on what you think of the donker. Is he really likely to be trying to bluff 4 other people on the river? Not many would be.

Getting 17 to 1 this is a sigh call

call, see a 7, move on with your life

This is a sigh call. You very rarely win but the pot is big and sometimes people spaz out.

A separate but related question: I bet when checked to there 100% of the time as I'm sure most of you do. How often do you run into villains who will go for a checkraise with a 7 there instead of betting out?

Or what if HERO is the one with a 7? I mean, if I have 78s in the HJ I'm limping along with two limpers, calling a raise, and calling bets on the flop and turn with those pot odds. Would HERO donk here with a 7? If I'm being honest, even if I'd seen villain triple-barrel 3 times I'd be afraid of getting nothing for my big hand and probably donk.

Heads up I may go for a c/r but so many players check back too pair into a big field I’d just bet it.

A raise could be considered if we thought that we could fold out a worse jack, but I doubt that happens often enough. It's just a boring call.
