this hand was from the 250 BH.
in the MTT itself this was his 7th hand since joining the table and so far he hadn't did a single limp most of them were actually folds and once he did a raise.
with it just being limped preflop I ruled out the premium hands and AK AQ.
what I had in mind that he was holding is either trips, the nut flush draw, a middle pair or a suited connector.
the chance of him having a FH does seem unlikely given his bet size.
Having been overbet should I just ship it all in or should I make the call knowing the chances are he will fold unless he has got trips FH or the nut flush draw the only hand I see calling which is behind is 54s?
was I right to donkbet in the first place or is check raise the better option long term.

A donk-bet is, specifically; leading out when we are not the last aggressor. It's an important distinction.
Anyway, leading this flop is absolutely fine as there was no pre-flop raiser. We can't assume that anyone is actually going to bet if we check and we want to be semi-bluffing on this flop where our equity is at its highest. That's all fine, although we can probably get away with betting a bit smaller.
Then things get a bit weird with this massive raise. I actually think it's a fold.
Our equity is pretty poor against most of the hands we figure to get it in against here. Occasionally we'll be getting it in as a favourite against an A7 type hand or weaker draw. We'll also occasionally be getting it in as a 9% dog against a flopped house or quads. Against the rest of the villain's likely range for getting it in, we're not in great shape; Likely around 40%-45%.
Assuming we have no fold equity with a shove and that we don't want to just call this river and see a turn (which we definitely don't want to do), then our pot odds for getting it in on this flop are 46%. Essentially, with no fold equity, we're calling it off.
It's close and it's not a big mistake to get it in. If there are enough hands we're a favourite against that the villain can play this way (A7, 88, 45) then we can get it in profitably. If we think a villain limp-calling pre-flop, then taking off on the flop is unlikely to hold one of those marginal hands, then we're probably making a -EV play by getting it in here.
Obviously that all changes if we DO think we have fold equity with a 3-bet shove. In that case, we absolutely should get it in here.
Having seen the result of the hand i think the range of hands in these limped pots on the flop will include the premium pairs too. the amount of limped pots that i have seen include premium pairs or AK AQ is growing. i think i remember one of the live show mention a similar thing themselves when analizing some MS hands.
This hand i guess the player himself was right that i was a fish for just make the call.
my thought was overall that if i were to jam he would be folding hands most days unless they are nut flush trip or FH. i also likely didn't think enough about the hand range of himself or me at the time either because i was on some cash tables on 888 poker.
Can't ask for a much better flop, nh!
IF I were holding the nut flush draw on this board is does that still have enough outs to jam or does the risk of trips and FH remove too much value?
