I don't mind a limp in PF...but calling the raise from MP is not good math after everyone else folds. You will be set mining 100% on the flop and you need to get paid enough to make calling the raise profitable. Multiway (many other callers)....absolutely. HU against MP will not yield enough to make the call profitable.

As played, check then fold the flop. You tried, you missed. Donking the flop not insanely bad. Calling the push is.

BTW, your donk $ amount is too high. .15-.20 is a better range

The others have already discussed what you should have done, so I'm not going to address that. I'm just curious, though, because I occasionally see people do this. When he shoved, did you think that your 33 (less than bottom pair) was ahead? If yes, why? and if no, then did you think you had a good enough chance to catch another 3 that it would be worth putting all your money in the pot?

Don't limp, literally never.

Why would you lead out flop? When he shoves, what do you think he can have that you beat?

Don't show other player names and results in the future.
I don't mind limping the small pocket pairs in EP to set mine but I fold to 3x raises if there's more than one caller. The bet on the flop is just too big. If you're going to Cbet go for 1/2 or 2/3. Full pot looks like you're trying to steal it by folding out all other hands.

I check/fold the flop as you have fourth pair and it's unlikely you improve. You pretty much have to go runner runner to win this hand unless you catch a two outer for a set.

Too loose all around except the PF limp. I just fold after the raise PF and save yourself the stack

Hi,

So, honestly i felt cornered and my emotions prevailed. I shoved with under pair. My plan was not to pull a 3 on the river also.

This can't be right, OS. The more players in the hand, calling a 3X makes sense mathematically as you have a higher chance of getting paid when you hit. HU..no call. Many callers, probably an autocall depending a bit on your reads on the rest of the callers. Yes?
