$25NL, bunch of donkeys on table, loose play. UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, 4 more limps...I get pocket eights on CO, I limp behind. Button makes it 5BB with whatever, called around to a clown in front of me (MP3), who decided to min-reraise to 9BB.

I look at the pot ($9.5), think about my pot equity and shove.

Standard gamb00l at this stack depth and against those clowns?

 it looks like two players have a strong hand, and neither have shown a sign of slowing down, so who's to say you won't get at least one caller? This would not be good.

MP3 limp min raised? Even though it's a limp minraise, it could still be a classic AA/KK line.

I think with loose crappy players you should be trying to outplay them postflop rather than get it all in and hope to god no one has better than AK.

Fold.

Look from your opponents viewpoint - what do YOU look like you have when you over shove? Clearly nothing great, so they're not folding. At best you're a flip, and you're more likely significantly behind. They're not doin this less than 88.

Ok, that hand was just sanity check for me because I got monkey aggro in halfstack poker.

Thanks for feedback!
