Hi, wondering what people made of this spot? Probably an unusual one to be caught in partly because I was short-stacked? I'll try describe my logic and reasoning behind how I played it. The flop for my hand was pretty decent, I didn't know what to make of the donk bet on the flop but screamed of a drawing hand so my logic behind raising was get more money whilst I'm likely ahead and give me the lead in the betting on the turn. Didn't love the fact I got another caller behind as well as the initial raiser coming along. The turn is another 3, on the face of it doesn't seem such a bad card for me, thinking I'm up against draws and overcards here a lot of the time. Decided just to shove for my remaining stack hoping to get a caller from a draw.
