Hello,
PKR, $0.05/$0.10 Pot Limit Omaha Cash, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: $18.51 (185.1 bb)
BB: $12.20 (122 bb)
MP: $11.59 (115.9 bb)
Hero (CO): $10.95 (109.5 bb)
BTN: $8.97 (89.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9 8 K K
MP calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.45, 3 folds, MP calls $0.35

Flop: ($1.05) 9 8 3 (2 players)
MP bets $0.52, Hero raises to $2.50, MP calls $1.98

Turn: ($6.05) 5 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $6.05, MP calls $6.05

River: ($18.15) 8 (2 players)
MP bets $2.59 and is all-in, Hero calls $1.95 and is all-in

When the villain (fish 70/5) donk/calls there I suppose his range heavily consists of draws here; Turn does complete a str8 draw and I am wondering of the best play here, is it better to shove turn to avoid river mistakes or x/b and pray for safe river's?

Hi,

there are literally no safe rivers So i think potting turn is fine. I think you have to call the flop lead here though. There are so many ugly turns for you, and we can't gii on this flop without a redraw. The 5 is one of the best ones to pot as the most unlikely straight hits; it's probably just a check on a card like 7 or higher, 6 being tricky but prob still a jam.

Does it mean that I can't get it in with top 2 here? I was pretty sure that getting it in wouldn't be a mistake. Can you elaborate why would I want to just call and let draws draw to their made hands for cheaper price?

Sure. You should do some calculations in PPT how your hand fares vs hands that are willing to stackoff on the flop. Vs an overpair with fd without any redraws you are flipping. Vs combodraws you are behind. Vs sets you are dead. Think of how your hand looks like on the river. Imagine how many cards you have to dodge twice for your hand to still be anywhere close to as strong as on this flop. You will see that your hand is very rarely good, so there's no need to shove the flop here when basically knowing you will be the underdog. Ofc the situation changes drastically when the SPR is lower, but here it's simply too high.
