HU otb limps and bb checks, then on the flop bb first to act is their bet considered a lead/donk bet? same question applies 3 handed button limps, sb limps and bb checks. is sb bet a lead first to act and bb too?

A lead against a preflop aggressor is considered a donk bet as it normally has little purpose. If you are playing a hand for value, it is better to let the preflop aggressor c-bet.

In cases where there was no aggressive action, a C-Bet is less common, so leading out against a preflop limper would not be a donk bet.

In the hu community we do consider this a donk bet. IP limp/cbetting is considered relatively common.

3 handed if btn limp sb limp bb check, sb lead would also be considered a donk. However, if btn folds, sb limps, bb checks and then sb bets, that would be considered a limp/cbet from sb and not a donk.

What about 4 handed all the way to full ring? Also, would this apply in 6max or fr if it folds to the button who limps?
