I've got both covered, so a call would be the end of betting.

I woulda called here don't know what you did but appeared to be the best possible flop for your hand and good value for a draw.

i wouldn't call, while you do have 8 chances for the straight, you would also have a good chance of ruining your stack knocking yourself out. I know $1 isn't alot, but good play and patience will pay off in the long run. Play it like it's a 100 buyin.

Fold preflop.

Fold the flop.

If this were a limped pot I'd be tempted to call because you could have as many as 14 outs against top pair. In a raised pot the chances are great that you are dominated and/or drawing thinnish even with your OESD. Let's say you're up against JJ and KK here. That means you only have 6 outs for the straight and your Q/Js are dead/no good.

Amen. You need a limped pot and two other players to make this play profitable and possible. Like baudib said, your cards are mostly like in the hole of the other players.

Not to mention you're OOP, which compounds your difficulty. All-in bets here are amateurish and you can easily pick up a better spot to pick-off these players who don't know how to play.

Clear fold. You're only getting the right price if neither of them has anything more than top pair top kicker. As stated before, the limp is not advisable either.

tough position there. It really depends on your bankroll and how comfortable you feel about taking chances. i've heard people say that you should never go in with a draw, but there odds of hittin one of your outs by the river are 56% (that is with all of your outs). So. I say take the chance and shove. gl with it =)

First - the pot was not limped. I called a couple of raises ahead. Yeah, it was a bit donkish, but at low blinds, I thought it would be OK.

Second - I folded on the flop behind the all-ins.

Third - first all-in villan had TPTK on flop, second all-in was middle pair with Ace.

The turn was inconsequential.

The river was an 8, and I would have had the nut straight and taken it down.

I went on later to cash anyway.
