Oh great..overcards in a large pot (6max)
 

Both villians in this hand have been playing aggressively post-flop..but i dont think they are likely to have garbage as i havent seen much pre-flop spewage with nothing.

Whats our plan for the flop/turn/river?
Also, how many outs would you give us on the flop?

Given the fact that we're commonly either splitting/being freerolled by Button or we're behind raised behind, our 3-ish outs aren't looking so hot. This sounds awful in such a big pot, but with the cleanliness of our outs and the chance of getting stuck in between these two numbskulls, I don't hate folding here.

AJ seems like a reasonable hand for SB, but who knows really. I think you can count about 4 outs, because you'll have top kicker if you make a pair. If you think there's any chance you'll fold the button and maybe get a free card by raising, you should raise. Otherwise, I'd just call and re-evaluate on the turn. If it's called through and SB bets again, you'd probably have to fold UI. I don't think you can fold the flop though, because even counting 3 outs you have pot odds to draw (although that assumes the button won't raise). Overall I say raise.

Wow, tough one! IMO the pot is way too large to fold, so I guess the next question is whether raising increases our chances of winning or get us a free card on the turn. SB's bet is disturbing since he was so passive pre-flop. I'm putting him on AJ, KJ, QJ, or JJ and if he had the guts to raise the flop after it was capped pre-flop he will not fold to our raise. As far as BB goes, I put him on a KK, QQ, or AXs - also unlikely to fold. I don't think a raise increases our chances to win nor gets us a freebie on the turn. Hence, since I think the pot is too big to fold, I'd call and see what the turn held.

so what happened, what did you do??????

I'd say that the one player that you didn't want to see betting on the flop was the sb. You're risking getting trapped between him and the 3-betting preflop button. You have no real backdoor draws. You missed. I'm folding this one.

The peel seems obvious but I don't like it too much here. If the button has a hand worth 3 betting pre-flop he likely has one he will raise the flop with and it could be 2 back to you if SB gets stubborn. Another option is to raise but I like that even less, we could easily be committing ourself to a turn that could cost 3 or 4 bets to see with effectively 3 outs. Even if we can push the button out, which is doubfull we are kind of reliant on the SB being on a draw and not getting there. Even if both are LAG players our prospects do not look too great.

I hate to do this in such a big pot but our draw is very weak and I have to find a fold here. Turn our Ace or king into a spade I would call hoping it came back to me as just 1 bet more.

He either called or raised as hero is in red.

I think this is a raise or fold situation. Since the pot is 16SB I'd probably go ahead and raise.
