Here I am donking the turn from early position. I'd only played a couple of orbits, but I had a note on MP1 that he continued to raise AA when there was a 4 card straight on the board. So I figured if he had an overpair, he'd pay me off on the turn. Which he did.

PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 5, 5
1 fold, Hero calls, MP1 raises, 1 fold, MP3 3-bets, 1 fold, Button calls, 2 folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls

Flop: (14.4 SB) 8, 5, 2 (4 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP3 calls, Button raises, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP3 calls

Turn: (11.2 BB) 4 (4 players)
Hero bets, MP1 raises, MP3 calls, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls

River: (20.2 BB) J (3 players)
Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls

Total pot: $11.60 (23.2 BB) | Rake: $0.40

Results below:
Hero had 5, 5 (three of a kind, fives).
MP1 had 9, 9 (one pair, nines).
MP3 mucked A, A (one pair, Aces).
Outcome: Hero won $11.20

why are we not b/3b'ing this flop? we have hella equity, an overpair overplaying read on villain, and a fd out there along with a small chance of a straight draw, too. if the draw completes on the turn, we will get hella action with a 10 out redraw. no one is going to fold this flop to our lead, and its very likely that in a 3bet pf hand, someone will overplay JJ+.

I suspected that if I led the turn rather than on the flop, I would actually play into the villain's tendency to overplay his hands. I want him speeding up, not slowing down, when the bets get bigger. In retrospect, I might squeeze a bit more out of this hand by being aggressive on the flop (I would prefer a check-raise to a b/3b, but OK), but what I ask myself in this spot is "how can I get the villain to spew as many chips my way on the turn and river where the bets are bigger?", because if I can do that, I really don't care how many chips go in on the flop.
