Typical

Am I just spineless, or am I just over-valuing opponents overbets in micro-limit donkaments???

This has happened to me about a dozen times this weekend... yes, some were really good (amazing even) folds, but some of them just sickened me... Like this one:

I wonder why Varcille didn't make a c-bet. He was last to act and he could have possibly, if anything, taken a player out of the pot. At that point, you probably would have folded.

 

[Pothole]

Post flop there were flush and str8 possibilities, no cbet could be slow playing but a cbet would have got at least 1 player out, the fold post turn to two all-ins was a given, don't feel bad that you could have won, fold was the right move.

 

[Stick66]

Standard fold on the turn. I mighta even folded 33 to the preflop raise if I didn't think Schade1976 would call. Pot has gotta be worth it to setmine with such a low pair, IMO. But maybe that's just me.

 

[CfPoker]

Fold preflop.

Your M here is about 5. This is not the time to go set mining as it is costing you too much of your stack to do it, and the implied odds aren't there when you do hit. This is even more true after you called the preflop raise - you've now spent 1/5th of your stack on a 1/8 chance to set.

WOW THATS SOME HEAVY DUTY ADVICE MY FRIEND ,NOT IN THE HAND BUT I CAN FEEL IT ,THX.GONNA KEEP THAT IN MIND.

^^^ that. Postflop is also absolutely standard. If the 3 hadn't have dropped on the river would you still be beating yourself up over this? What if they both showed sets?

Again - fold pf. As played pf, this is a spot where you're either incredibly far behind or you're barely ahead against two overs and some kind of draw. Automatic fold.

 

[Announced]

Once again, I show up too late. Fold pre-flop as Cf/Chuck already said.
