Rockets...

Was it right to go for the overcall by keeping both these guys in. I decided that I had a better chance on the river of making more money by raising, since there was no way the better was going to fold for 1 bet, plus the slim chance that the other guy could call it as opposed to just one call-maybe.

Raise the flop. Other than that, fine.

No, on the flop you were giving the correct odds to one pair hands to call for two pairs or a set, OESDs to call, and with implied odds, you were even giving gutshots the odds to call or close to it. You were encouraging one spade holders to stay in and hope for runner runner spades.

You had a two flush, two Broadway flop there - you were just asking to get your aces cracked.

Raise the flop. Since MP1 apparently only had half a BB left I probably would have called the river hoping for an overcall.

Why did you just call the flop? Two spades on the board - I'm raising every time. You're letting Button draw very cheaply.

And no, you should raise the river - you have no guarantee that Button will overcall, but MP1 will certainly call the raise.
