Isn't the guy with two clubs playing incorrectly by calling a pot-sized bet? Unless he thinks the other guy will call if a club hits.

Enough on the raise more preflop. I got the message.

As for the main question....The reason this decision is so hard is because I am assuming the middle player has some intelligence.

When the BB bets the pot, he most likely has a 10. If he has a set, he checks or bets smaller to lure one of us in. Probably the same line with two pair.

The middle player is getting 2-1 to call. I am assuming he calls to slow play something or hoping for the over call from me. If he has a flush draw, he should be folding. His second best option is probably to raise all in.

Do any of you guys who advise pushing in anyways change your tune if 3 players bet into me versus 2?. Is your general line to assume overpairs are ahead a high enough percentage that you push no matter what happens?

I definitely wouldn't push no matter what happens. I would need to see a lot of strength to get pushed off that hand though. One bettor, then two callers could be enough.

The middle guy has f*ck all, especially given the PF action.
You should be mostly worried about the BB leading into two people INCLUDING the PF raiser.
I still push.
