PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

SB: $6.14 (122.8 bb)
Hero (BB): $5.88 (117.6 bb)
UTG: $10.45 (209 bb)
MP: $5.00 (100 bb)
CO: $5.21 (104.2 bb)
BTN: $5.45 (109 bb)

SB posts $0.02, Hero posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has 3

UTG calls $0.05, fold, CO calls $0.05, 2 folds, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.17, 3 players) 9

Hero checks, UTG checks, CO bets $0.07, Hero calls $0.07, UTG calls $0.07

CO is 20/20 reggy type player, SB is 57/2 calling station

Hey guys I'm looking for an opinion about what line would be best to take here?
1) Donk flop
2) Check-raise flop
3) Call flop and check/raise turn?

Thanks

In most multiway limped pot situations, you should check at a high frequency (even with hands like top pair), but if you have 2pr or better I think it's best to lead out.
As played, CO usually has a pocket pair, a FD, or air (like 2 overs) when he stabs the flop, and I think you should check-raise immediately. You don't want this hand to stay multiway any more, but want to get your value/protection ASAP. If you just check-call the flop, the turn usually checks through, unless you're losing, so you won't get the value you want, and villains realize their equity in full. i.e. They can suck out for free.
