Should I have raised more preflop? Mostly I just wanted to detur other limpers. Would you push preflop? Any other comments?

Your preflop raise is *really* ugly. If you're going to raise, it can't be a min raise...

I probably just call and play a flop.

I probably flat call pf, but a raise isn't awful. However your raise is. If your oing to raise make it about 350 here. You say you want to deteur other limpers, your raise won't accomplish this at an 11. Flop is terrible. All the hands that beat you will call, and nearly all the hands you have crushed will fold. Just pot the flop and take it from there.

i call PF. if you raise, make it at least something like 350. if you hit this flop id bet strong but not open all in in a multi way pot, theres a lot of value to be won from your hand by other 11 dollar donks.

Just call preflop. Definetly don't reraise.

RR more PF, and bet less on the flop. There's no reason to massively overbet that flop (1800 into 500 pot?).
