Did I not check-raise him for enough chips? I figured I was ahead and knew with his aggressive tendencies he would bet out, but I didn't expect him to push with such a weak holding (not that I minded, and suckouts happen, that's poker, just looking to see if I raised him correctly)

Is this a well-disguised bad beat post?

That said, I fold preflop I think but I am not sure.

I'm pretty sure I am done with this flop if I meet aggression.

You don't like your overpair against a donk on a rag rainbow flop?

There are a lot of people in this pot for me to be comfortable with a medium overpair.

I think a push or a fold are both options.

It's true he bet into two people which shows some strenght. I still assume we are ahead most of the time though (the other guy folded already).

On the flop, the pot is half your stack. I'd push the flop and try to take it down there with no showdown. I don't think your hand is strong enough for a c/r. If no one bet, you're giving a free turn card for someone with 2 overs to get ahead of you. Push and take down the pot there.

I like the check-raise, I think you are right insinuating that the amount is a bit small, maybe 300-350 is the right prize to offer?

(Then again, if this donk has an agro tendancy to push over "weak" checkraises then your amount is perfect...)
