im not very experienced so i don't know if this is a giant donk push or not. My read on the guy is he plays solidly so he for sure has at least a queen.

Hi Weir-

I like a flop c/r here, but now that you're HU when facing MP's bet, I like a larger c/r. Your c/r is far too small IMO.

Either way you have a monster here. Not getting the money in is criminal. You do not suck and this is a situation where you want to stick your money in 100% of time.

Also, plz don't post results, it will limit the amount of quality responses you will have.

Getting your money in on this flop is fine, though you should certainly be raising it up more at the flop

The c/r is way to small if you are going to do that.
as played you have to call his all-in.

You're not really ever getting away from this hand with gutshot+nfd.

I think a c/r a-i or b/3b a-i is fine here.

c/r small is very bad tho cuz you're a slight underdog and need some FE. But as played, you can't not call his push with your odds.

It's fine, but you should raise significantly more the first time around. A pot sized raise in this spot would be $47, so you may even consider just pushing given the stack sizes.
