Should I just dump my hand on the flop?

    A really confusing hand but you can't fold on the flop. 

    I think you probably played it correctly, call the pound on the turn and re-assess on the river, were you are never ahead to a shove there.

    Hmm.

    Agree with Crash, can't fold on the flop unless you have stone cold read on oppo (ie they donk flopped sets/2pr hands).

    Run-out from there is grim and unless you know better, a random over-shoving river is almost certainly a value bet (if not the stone cold nuts).  So call £1 / fold shove seems fine.

    You figure to be good most of the time here against unknowns, who are probably donking Qx or MAYBE straight or flush draws.

    On that assumption, I can't help but think there is scope to raise the flop - happy to stack off vs shorty if they play back (which they could still be doing with Qx) and get my answer on what full stack has if they come over the top.

    Raise bigger pre flop - at 10nl limpers seldom ever fold.

    With the donk bet on the flop, raise to a decent size and play the hand from there, in position most likely heads up.

    IMO I think you can't fold on the flop, but with a bet and a call there are not many turn cards you are going to like, so its call on the flop and then maybe fold the turn as the board pairs, with your last comment "10nl limper's seldom ever fold" you have what I call micro stakes mentality and have a mindset they will call with any 2, so putting them on hand ranges is impossible. I have this mindset as I know i should be betting in certain spots, but in the back of my mind I am telling myself they are going to call no matter what, so do i really want to bloat the pot with one pair ?
