I was curious what the best option is here on this type of hand

Lets say player A raises preflop 3x BB. 1 caller, you call with 6c5c in the BB.

Flop A: Tc 2c 6h (pair + flush draw) 14 outs
Flop B: 4c 7h Jc (flush and str8 draw) 15 outs
Flop C: 4h 6d 7s (pair + straight draw) 13 outs

You check (or bet here?) PF Raiser bet 2/3 pot (probably has big pair)

Whats your move if Player B calls or if he doesn't?

You have a big pot and a big draw with lots of outs but its right there at the 50/50 mark not counting redraws to hitting 2 pair.

Is this a push scenario or a hefty raise that will get one player?

Would it depend on your stack size compared to the opponents? If the pot is $10 and both of you have $500 to a sceanrio where the pot if $10 and both of you have $35.

Do you play it strickly by the odds. Remember you are fairly certain this player has a big pair and does not share your cards. Player B your not sure.

---------------
My feelings say to push depending on my stack compared to his. If we both had $40 lets say then the $10 in the pot + his $40 and my $40 makes it worth is. 40/90 = 44% on my money when my draw is about the same. Add the chance he might fold which cancels out the redraw.
