Yuck.
I hate having a pretty good made hand (TP) and a pretty good draw (weak flush) vs 2 opponents.
Bad position + Bad position relative to the reraiser.
Pushing will solve all these positon problems in the later rounds but that isn't enough by itself.
I am tempted to hold my nose and call the $14 reraise.
Getting more dead money in with a call.
I'm not expecting a limp re-raise from the preflop bettor (UTG).
If a dead money UTG re-limps you'll have better pot odds for your draw.
I'm looking at winning the $40 in the pot, plus another $55 behind that the CO has. Plus the potential $14 from the UTG.
CO has either a better draw AXs or a better made hand TT. Just call and see what the turn is and what the UTG does.
Most people who flop a set at this level tend to just call with them not try to push out "customers".
I don't want to play a big pot with a weak flush or a TPWK hand.
Is my thinking correct???
