Not sure if this is long term good play or just really bad.

I call in the BB because the price is good
I hate my donk bet, looking back at the hand because on the flop I just have the two draws.

The check raise on the flop, induces the short stack to go all in. With the check raise from MP and the all in from the CO the pot is $1.95, I hate calling because MP only has $1.39 behind and I expect him to get it all in on the turn on a non diamond..

I go all in to see two cards, I cant fold for a $2 pot on a later street

WP. I would not get into a habit of playing hands like this in the SB/BB. You *should* longterm just get shat on playing hands like this out of position in PLO. Lots of weak two pairs, crap combo draws etc. This is about as good a board as you could hope for.

In terms of donking it is likely that this board gets checked back some % of the time and it may be that you want to get $s in now so leading can be an option vs check call or check raise depending on cbet tendencies of players in the hand.

Dont agree with Josh at all about the preflop play. You for sure should defen this hand. It plays well in multiway bc of the nutFD. Im sure you can play this better then -100bb/100.

Its fine to lead/get it in here. You will have way more 2p and sets then them on this texture and getting it in is for sure +EV.

Defending BB with wider range is an interesting topic at micros, as the rake is 15bb/100 or more. And it's almost impossible to get a big enough sample size from good players to see what works and what not. Hand like this is a defend, top20% in PPT rankings and it has nut potential. But if we change Ad to Qd, it becomes more interesting preflop. I honestly don't know if it's profitable to call with those weaker hands at micros or not from BB.
