I'll post thoughts and results later. What do you do (also comments on earlier streets).

My reads are like this. I've been getting owned on some big pots, but SB is somewhat solid (not way out of line). Button is a complete douche, he double someone up by bluffing with K high on every street with 4 to the flush on the board. I'm convinced if I make any hand I'm likely getting payed off by him. On the flop I call because I feel that both players behind me are going to call, and I have two (likely good) runner runner draws as well as 5 live outs. Turn is obviously the best card I could see, just about.

fold preflop
fold the flop
turn is fine
river is tricky. turn action makes me want to think he has a straight. not sure

1) Why fold preflop?

2) Why fold the flop? Are my implied odds on the 5 outs + rr draws not good? Keep in mind button is a complete douche (his stats on pokertracker right now are 88% VPIP, 55% PFR for this session)

if button is that aggressive and has position on you this is a terrible preflop call. esp considering you are coldcalling already. pretty much the same thing on the flop. bad pos, bad price, big risk of raise.

Button was opening for small raises ($1 or so) PF a lot, but wouldn't re-raise at all (until way later actually). I agree that the PF is a little marginal OOP.

i never said the preflop call was marginal. i dont think it is.

I start talking in chat box. People are telling me to call, I say I'm thinking about but my hand is not so good. SB says "do it". I run my clock down to about 4 seconds trying to figure out if he has the two pair which turned into a boat or if he has the turned straight. I call. He has a straight and MHIG.
