Deciding when to donk bet involves considering various factors, including the board texture, your hand strength, the aggression level of your opponent, and the table dynamics. You should also think about the range of hands your opponent is likely to continue with and how a donk bet will affect their decision-making. A donk bet can be an effective tool for building the pot with strong hands, protecting your hand from free cards, and disguising the strength of your hand, but it requires careful consideration of the specific situation.

That's a great summary of the key factors to consider when deciding when to donk bet in poker. Board texture is crucial as it determines the likelihood of your opponents having connected with the community cards. Your hand strength is also paramount; with strong hands, donk betting can help you extract value and build the pot. It's also important to assess your opponents' tendencies - if they are aggressive, a donk bet might induce a raise that you can capitalize on.
Table dynamics play a significant role in the decision-making process. If you're playing against tight opponents, a donk bet can help you push them off marginal hands. Conversely, against loose players, a donk bet can be a way to gain value from their wide range of hands.
Considering all these factors in combination with your overall strategy will help you determine the best times to implement a donk bet effectively in your game.
