No, because you're all in already.

Agree about the PF raise, otherwise the hand looks fine.

something is wrong with that history.

Hmm... In short, this is a standard:check/fold to a bet.

I wouldn't have called the raise because you are simply not beating anything decent. You're oop with no reads and so many hands beat you. Sets, JT, flushes, 2 diff kinds of straights, KQ is likely to call your 4x along with AT AJ, 89s also. You know your players aren't aggressive because they all check the flop. Most non-aggros would not make a play on the flop because they think they are going to be able to milk on the turn/river.

Now... without reads... what are you beating? A9? A8? KJ? Would anyone logically raise their position on a draw vs a raisor with 1 card to come? I would suspect no.

What was the outcome?

Yeah PF raise is small. Leading this flop into two players with a shortstacked button seems pretty bad so I like checking. Turn...prob not too much you can do IMO.

Only thing to comment on is PF raise is toooooo small..Nothing you can do on river vs shortie suck it up and move on...
