What are your cards? It's fine if you have an ace, but I wouldn't if you don't. Also I would bet about 400, moving in looks a lot more like a flush draw than a 2/3 bet (which looks a lot more like AK).

SORRY lol i had 98clubs, at that point the size of the pot was 675, and my opponents had 735 and 825, so I don't think an all-in would look too much like a draw. If my opponent had more chips I could checkraise, but any bet by BUTTON is going to pot-committ him at this point. Basically I thought his most likely holdings were 1010-QQ which would be likely laydowns. Obviously any Ahigh isnt going to look me up. Basically, on that flop I figured if they hadn't hit the K it was mine, if they had then I will take two cards to try and hit my flush. Yes, it would have been a much better situation with the A as an overcard as I hardly would have been a dog at all, however I had only 98. Still a good bet or no?

It's both a ridiculous raise in the first place and a ridiculous allin on the flop. You really think in a double-raised pot, 4 ways, nobody is going to be able to look you up on K44? What on earth are you doing in this pot in the first place?

I think you're in trouble. The minimum reraise worries me. I think button could easily have AA, KK, or AK. If he has KK you're drawing dead (or if he has AcQc). If he has a club, you've lost an out and only have a 33% chance to hit if you commit all your chips on a draw. I would check, and see what he bets, but as always, when my bluff doesn't work right away, I revert to weak-tight.
