How good or bad the shove was depends on what you thought his range was plus how often you thought he'd call with less or fold better.

thought he was chaising and wanted to make him pay for it

What did you consider to arrive at these decisions?

You were just rivered out.

Bad shove for me. How about just risk little portion of your stack and see what happens? A standard VB would tell us where we stand.

3 limps, I think you should be raising more than 4x. When you have callers pre-flop, add 1BB with each limp to your standard raise. Now that the flop is low connected cards like these, I'm not surprised if someone would've made a set.

Still, your shove was good and you got sucked out on, but remember to raise properly pre-flop. 4-way flop with Aces OOP is disastrous.

okay! :3

It's fine when he calls with 98o, but the more appropriate question involves how good or bad the shove was against the opponent's likely range, not his actual hand, plus the value you might have extracted via other possible lines from hands he should have folded to the shove.
