2/3 Ad Td Js 8h on flop facing a donk bet
PLO2/3. Five handed. Straddle on. CO (unknown) limps with 5. I (beginner) raise to 20. SB (weak) and BB (tricky and experienced) call.
Flop (78=85-7): Qc Qh 9d.
CO donk-pots 85 into 78 and has 160 behind. SB and BB have about 350. I have them covered.
I hold Ad Td Js 8h on the button. Against an unknown, should call or fold?
Positive: I am calling 85 to play for 243 before the blinds act. Breakeven at ~35%. With position and the chance to win his last 160 on good turns, the implied odds push this into a profitable float.
Negative: Obviously the board is paired, and my draws could be dead. There are two players behind me.
Spoiler
After playing with him for hours, I estimate his range mostly contain minimum a Q, or similar hands to mine with some good draws

Easy fold
I don't even consider calling.
Even if villain went for small 1/3 pot bet I would be folding in multiway. It would still be bet in 4way pot on flop that will hit very often to someone. You can be dead but also if not it's very often you won't have all outs alive.
Easy fold, even more so with the blinds still to act behind you.
