You're behind a lot more than just the case 4. Pushing on that flop is probably a little too aggressive, since I can't imagine anyone calling with a worse hand.

Oh...play money. Probably fine then, but I wouldn't do it in a real money game. A reasonable raise will normally win you the pot, and give you an exit if someone pushes back hard.

BTW, I wouldn't label this as an "urgent" need for advice unless your clock was running and you were pondering your next action.

What is up with miniraising with 33? What is that going to accomplish?

As for going all-in, not with your stack I don't. Going all-in isn't going to do much that a bet 1/5 the size couldn't also do. You are risky far more than you need to and if you happen to run into a pair of 5's or better you are nearly drawing dead.

Yeah, the minraise actually made me puke. If your goal is to take it down preflop you should raise to about 4x the bb and if you're looking to hit a set you should just call.
