3bet preflop/check-fold flop

Button is 51/4/0.8 but is tilting and playing way more aggressively than his stats suggest. He's feltward bound. UTG is a passive donk, BB is solid (26/18/2.1).

I have been 3 & 4 tabling limit omaha 8/b lately, so my holdem is pretty rusty. Is this standard or chicken?

If BB is so solid, why is he calling two and not capping? What do you put him on? KQs, KJs, Axs? PP?

I think you have to bet anyway. Call a raise by anyone except maybe BB. Fold turn UI.

You don't have enough fold equity to bet. You don't have enough outs to call.

He was the PF 3-bettor. It only has to fold everyone out 1 time in 12 to be profitable.

I can't imagine that happened even close to 1 in 12 times with this board. You have a lot of people that CCed 2 bets pre-flop, a relatively coordinated 2 suit board and high cards out there.

I think against showdown minded 5/10 players, its a good check/fold.
