I do not remember the stats of zooonkauj123 and spitz210987 but the bubble was coming and they both seemed to have been playing very passive.This was the first hand after the bubble had burst. The more i have thought about this hand the more i think i should have folded the on the flop but am not 100% sure.So i would appreciate other peoples points of view.When Zoonkauj123 limped pre-flop i just remember thinking that i wanted to isolate him and i was prepeared to get the stacks in,pre-flop, against him.Maybe this was the wrong way to go about things aswell, i dont think so but again i would like to hear other peoples thoughts.I am a small stakes player and, although i have been playing a couple of years and i have read a few books, i have only just started taking playing and improving my game more seriously.

Pretty loose call by spitz. Imo you played it fine, just unlucky vs the donk. If you knew he had been coming into raised preflop pots light maybe a raising more to like 4999 . At this level if he's calling 3200 he most likely is calling 4999 so I don't think that would even help. Shoving preflop is not worth the reward so just one of those spots were the donk gets rewarded.

not being results oriented, but you did get it in as a 2:1 favourite against one of the hands that this flop smashes, so i think getting it in is fine here. you are rarely completely crushed except K9 or 89, but those are less likely than just a bunch of broadway cards. i very much doubt that villain is limping with QQ/JJ (possibly TT) but its most likely a hand like KT or KQ/QJ/QT/AJ. and even against QJ you have 7 outs, so if he has that, just bink your K and double up :D.
