1 fold, Hero bets t2400, 3 folds, Button calls t2400, 1 fold, UTG calls t1600

i gues UTG limps, if so u should raise it bigger preflop to lets say 3800 min with those blinds, and fold if he shoves (u got to raise bigger to isolate early limper and to see were u are in the hand) or u can jast call and play after the flop

on flop u have a problem u have a player who donks into a raiser and into a caller on 5c8d7d flop which looks strange and strong to me
- if he had PP 55-88 he hit his set, 66 has open ended str8draw.
- if he have over pair he got u crashed any way
- if he have flush draw with 2 over is a coin flip
BUT there is 1 more player that has to act after u, and thats what makes this hand even harder to play, I never ever shove on this flop i might fold couse i dont have 9 or i just call and see what happens u got some str8 outs (because i have a good chance to get ITM in this spot as played i go for fold on flop couse i dont want to invest 2,4k more and if I get raised from button i got to fold)
Any way U MUST RAISE BIGGER PREFLOP

and btw i think all of u play this hand terrible, maybe UTG guy play it best couse he got big stack and good pot odds for calling preflop and on flop too

with one limper you should raise bigger preflop.
at least you should raise to 3000 or even 3200-3500 to isolate the limper.
on the flop its really ugly.
because you are now in the mittle.
one player donks, which is NOT strong enough to prevent me from a shove if its only we two.
but here you have the big problem: the button is still in the hand and we know not much about him.
he might have an overpair all the time, or he made a set now or a straight or two pair or or or.
if you call now you can still fold to a shove with your stack.
any raise comitts you so if you raise push all in.

i think i just call and fold to a shove from BU..... although he might see the donk + the call as weakness it takes alot of courage to bluff with AK or AQ here.
so just call and see if BU leaves. if BU folds you can reevaluate on the turn against the donk.
