Default 5.50 Early against a LAG (donk push on my part?)

Early in tourney. Villian has been limping with just about any two and bluffing at the pot. My stack is a little low because I took a hit with 99 against KTo.

I thought that I might push her off the hand. Was this push on my part a donk play?

Please advise.

It does not look good. You are probably drawing to 6 outs when you're called.

Fold.

This should not have happened, unless you got money in with a set and he sucked out to the str8.

You're gambling that she doesn't have anything made or a diamond, and you're laying more than 2 to 1 on that proposition. Your opponent has hit a pair that often, and you can add to that the times she has bet with a high diamond and will call you with the FD and overcard. Just fold.
