Default MONSTER DRAW in an unraised pot

I have no idea what to do when action gets back to me on the flop, i planned to take a turn and not get too involved, the person who bets in a maniac, the next two raisers are both super tight, both with avg agg of around 1 with around 200 hands for both, another question is do i bet the flop? even so what do i do when action gets back to me?
any suggestions would be helpfull
thanks,
Noah

well, first of all, lead the flop.

second, you want your stack in on the flop. the double check-raise is worrisome, but i'd probably still push.

Well, people with post flop af 1 don't play flush draws that way, and since a higher flush draw is the only thing you really fear in a 3 or 4 way all in pot, I suppose you'll have to call and hope maniac pushes over the top. You don't want to fold him out.

I believe you should fold preflop.

wouldn't a check/push be better?? if you do get called, your chances of being heads up w/ dead money in the pot are more likely. If you lead out, only the guy w/ 78 or set may be heads up w/ you which is around even money proposition

optimally tho instead of check/push (if you were intending to get all your chips in)

wouldn't you call b/c your probably up against a set or two pair and would want to wait until you had the best of it

you want to put your stack in with the worst hand when you will get called for sure?

personally i would just draw for my hand,

but minetz, if u're up against a two pair or a set, you are about 50/50 by the river, w/ dead money in the pot it's profitable to have all ur chips in if that were the case

also, going all in has a the benefit of getting a higher flush w/ no other draws (you have the straight) to fold

Dont go broke in an unraised pot, a wise man once said this.
I think that the only +ev situation is if you can get both of the other players all in, otherwise your in a seemingly coinflip situation with not that much dead money in the pot, also take into account the stacksize of the origional raiser
