To explain my point I will use hand that I played recently.

60 seat sit go 6 handed. 0.02 $
Loose novice players sitting with me ( who like to call).

Early stage of the torunament.
Blinds 15/30
UTG folds
Middle position (2040) raise to 105
CO Folds button folds
Me SB (1035) call with :9d4: :9c4:
BB (970) calls.
pot 315
(there is nothing suggesting MP has a bigger pair than 99+ because he would simply shove as he done it before, however I suspect he holds decent cards hence his raise pre flop) (BB holdings unknown he has a very wide range)

Flop
:5d4: :3h4: :4d4:

I donk bet the flop with a pot size bet 315.
BB folds
MP goes all in 1935
I call
MP showes :kd4: :qd4: He has two overcards and a flush draw. 15 outs

I put the hand into equity calculator and I found out that despite i had a made hand on the flop I had only 43% equity and he was 54% favourite to win at that point.

My question is: even if i knew what he had wouldn't be better to throw my pair of 9 away if I knew he was going to call no matter what. and also did I play my hand correctly? Was my opponent right to go all in ?

He got queen of heart on the river and I lost my tourney life.

THROW IT AWAY 100% of the time unless your committed

You need to just muck in that situation. Especially since with a table full of donks you should just wait for premium hands and trap the shit out of everyone. When youre playing with solid players then be aggressive. GOOD players will fold donks will not.
