I am very surprised to see all the votes for donking the flop. This seems questionable on a normal table, and bad on this table.
Someone is going to bet this and often get some callers, and then you can just bomb it. This is going to happen like 90% of the time.
The idea that you can bet 30 and count on someone raising...how often is that really going to happen? Besides, if they have a hand worth raising, they are going to bet and call your check raise anyway.
When was the last time you saw someone donk bet into multiple action players like this and have less than trips here? Any good player will see right through this. Against non-thinking maniacs, you are blocking them from firing at the pot with air.
This is why players like Doug Polk advocate never donk betting ever. Nobody is donking 76 and risking getting raised off their draw. Meanwhile, our check raise range can include draws and top pair/overpair hands.
