 Opp is donkish but normal preflop, not many reads.

I don't like my flop play very much, I think it's good if the flop is 843 not 743, and if the board is a rainbow. Turn I just don't understand what hand besides a flush draw (only rarely) or a straight (not all the time) would ever shove here, but I guess I have to call right?

This sucks.

I dunno what went through your head, but these are the times I wish I'd spent a bit more time thinking about what was going to happen if my hand hit before playing the flop.

I think we beat enough of his possible holdings to call this though. In reality theres only one that scares us.

My guess (hope) would be a set or two pair that thinks you're bluffing a scare card.
Just playing to improve.
