sb is 44/11/1.2
bb is unknown

Full Tilt Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game
Limit: $3/$6
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with J

3 folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB 3-bets, Hero calls, SB calls.

Flop: 2

(6SB, 3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero folds

i have a additional question: what kind of stats, in your view, mark the boundary between calling and folding this flop?

I think this is a fold. Pot is 3-way and there's literally no draw out so that should tighten BB's donking range a whole lot. You have 0 draws except your pair outs and a longshot runner runner gutterball. And you're not even last to act.

I don't think stats tell you too much about a villains donking range, allthough I do find that a loose/passive is:

a) more likely to donk medium strong hands that he should be check/raising.
b) more likely to donk on a pure bluff

I think you can cap preflop, but probably doesnt matter much. The BB is just c-betting, but I still fold the flop here

Lol, yeah, I missed that. I probably don't peel though.
