I'm not a fan of how this hand was played in general.

Pre: I don't like calling here OOP. If we are going to play the hand I would much rather use it as a 4-bet bluff, but vs a three bet OOP my overall preference is to go ahead and fold it.

Flop: I don't like the third pot donk bet here either, we are choosing a size that can induce a lot of raises and it is going to be really tricky to respond with this type of hand. If we are going to donk out I would much rather a 50-66% size, but I think check calling is going to be better.

Turn: As played I think betting out again seems reasonable given the number of draws that are possible that we can get value from, but again I don't like the way we ended up in this situation where the pot has been bloated very large with a mediocre hand.

River: Check calling now seems fine, we would have a much tougher decision if villain had chosen a normal size.

I would fold pre. For nearly 8bb, you're OOP and there's still a chance the open raiser will 4 bet requiring you to fold.

On the flop 4 way I don't think our hand is strong enough to lead. As Ferg said it's going to induce a fair amount of raises too. I would be in check call mode for the flop making a re-evaluation based on bet size on the turn.

I think the problems with this hand stem from the loose call pre flop. Even though it was a min raise, the 3 bet is still a big enough sizing to warrant a tight approach.

I actually don't mind the call preflop assuming there's at least one recreational player already in the pot. In a vacuum, it's obviously a mistake to play this OOP for the price, but I don't mind making that mistake given implied odds.

Flop: You had the right idea but I really don't like the sizing. If you think betting this for value is the way to go (and it most likely is) go with a standard sizing of at least 2/3pot.

Turn: As played you should fire again since the board offers a lot of draws and your hand is somewhat underrepresented.

River: Betting again seems a bit too thin so I like your line. I'd be folding vs. bigger sizing.
