being retarded with the bankroll, taking a shot against some of the toughest players online (Ozzy and sbrugby/aba20 are at the table though not involved in this hand) so obviously BR management and game selection suck butt, but any other comments are welcome. on the flop I'm obviously looking to crai...

You're playing donkstacked... You flopped top pair after questionable preflop play... You got all-in.

FWIW, you actually have just less than a 26xBB stack.

It's tough to assess the hand without mentioning the BR and game selection, b/c it's a key factor in each decision that occurs during this hand. Obviously, you shouldn't be here taking a shot, but, it's your business.

As played, the preflop call is questionable OOP. The pot isn't attractive and your stack isn't big enough to get anyone off anything. If you planned to CRAI on the flop, then with this turn and river, almost no line where you got all the chips in could be considered "bad". I suppose with 1100 left you have to get all the chips in the middle once you actually did flop TPGK.

You may want to c/c the river, in hopes of inducing a bluff, and getting marginal hands such as QJs and 99+ to "value" bet you. As played, I suppose you have to call off the last $414, but, I don't think your hand is good very often.

i think you might need to fold this preflop given stack. after flop no other way to play it.

standard - consider checking river though.
