    If you're going to raise preflop, you need to make it more. $4 just doesn't cut it in this spot. Make it like $8 or $10 to go.

    As played, I think it's push fold time, but given that you raised out of the blinds and got raised by a full stacked, early position limp/caller on a KQx flop, I think you should fold.

    If I knew this player to be a donk, I'd push.

    Hear ya on the preflop. I was busy opening another table and wasn't paying attention to all the limpers...

    I feel like I'm behind but it's a $16 call to win $100 and I have outs to improve...

    That card either pwned his hand or just pwned your chances of folding. He has to either have QK 99 or TJ.. I don't see anything else he could have... maaaybe he has AK also, but doubtful. Can you fold now?

    I don't think I can. Pot is bigger than my stack now. Push here? I don't think I have any fold equity but I think it's all going in anyway...

    So with TPTK are you ever calling here?

    This is such an awkward/tricky spot. There's about $82 in the pot when action is back on you. If you call, you're going to have $64 left on the turn with a pot of $92. If I thought there was a reasonable chance I was ahead of UTG+1 (like he could have a KJ, KT type hand, or worse, b/c that's really all we beat), then I'd push. Against a lot of players I'd just fold here to be honest.

    I guess we could just call and hope for it to get checked down, but I don't see that happening. Being out of position sucks.
