Hi everyone,

I've been recently working a bit on the concept of protection and I think this hand falls under this category. UTG is a 21/18 TAG, BN is a 27/22 LAG, SB is a 50/14 recreational player.

The main decision point for me was on the flop. My rationale was that I'm probably way ahead against the donkbetting range of SB, still pretty good against his calling range and that I would rarely be able to realize my equity if the hand goes multiway to the turn.

Happy to hear what others are thinking about this hand.

Cheers.
