I don't know how to upload the hand, so i apologise for that.
If someone is kind enough to look at my hand can you tell me if i played this well?

Preflop, i reraised to punish the limpers, but everyone followed.
On the flop, everyone checked and i was afraid of 33 AQ or QQ.
I c-bet, then i got a donk bet, by the guy who did the first min raise.
At that point i was already pot comitted and i thought that there's no point in calling, considering the stacks so i shoved and got called.

My big question is:

Was i right to shove it after the donk bet?

If you are referring at preflop, I think shoving is a bad play. Three opponents had entered and yet others still to act. From the looks, two would call your all-in bet. Your equity is bad with two opponents especially if one holds a pair.

I posted a link with how the hand played out :)

I was talking on the flop, after my c-bet and after the guy donk bet me.
Did i play well by shoving on him?

nothing wrong with that

By donk bet i am sure you mean "check raise", looking at he hand you played it pretty well all the way. The villian check raised you because he hit a pair and realized you were short stack so he wanted to take a chance and gamble with the fourth and fifth street.
So if i got your question right you ask if your "shove" to his check raise was a right thing to do ??
Well of course it was, you already invested more than half your stack. Top pair top kicker. Easy Call. Thank you very much. Nice hand. Well played :canabis:

You began the hand poorly by only having a half stack. Against weak opponents, you want to have a full stack. It's more profitable to do so because you're more likely to stack them than vice versa.

As for the play, you can't fold to his check-raise after putting half your stack in, so an alternative line - not necessarily better or worse - is to shove the flop hoping to get looked up by someone who thinks you might be weaker than you are.

You really should be buying in full.

I would have raised a little bigger pre. With all those limpersI probably would have gone to.14 without the min raise. I think I'm going to about .22. Then I can shove in the flop without even thinking about it. As played I think you did fine on the flop. There is no reason to just call the check raise.

Raise bigger pre.

If I'm seeing this right, you only had an additional 7 cents after his flop raise. I'm never ever folding here for 50BB so you might as well get it all in. Obviously he showed up with complete garbage so WP.

Edit: Also OP, there is no donk bet in this hand. A donk bet specifically refers to a bet on the flop by an out-of-position player when someone else raised preflop. This is a check-raise.

OTF you played the hand fine...theres no way in hell your ever folding TPTK in that spot considering how commited you are...as for preflop your raise was much too small...If anything id likely shove since you only had 50bbs and try and isolate a hand or pick up the dead $....your never getting folds with such a small 3bet.....Also! Villain did not "donk bet" lol..that was simply a check-raise....and +1 at arjonius you should be sitting with a full (100bb) stack at a cash table at all times in order to gain as much value as possible as well as have room to play and make moves....keep on grinding!
