Isolating the all-in w/ top pair, a flush draw, and a gutshot.

[KillingAristotle]

Button is tilting like crazy. He could have a made hand, but probably has a draw of some sort. UTG+1 is a little loose/fishy and fairly aggressive. MP2 is unknown/not important.

At the time I really thought I had button beat with my top pair. I figured i'd raise the turn to knock the others out so they couldn't catch on the river. Is it better to try to build a side-pot in these situations? If so, what about without the extra draws?

edit: to fix post flop action

[stoxtrader]

the post-flop action is a bit confusing, but I think this is a bit of a loose call-preflop. not ridiculous, but a bit loose.

raise the flop, raise the turn.

I like jamming the flop better.
