A lot of the time I lead at this pot, but I was counting on CO pushing or at least betting the flop. I did not, however, count on an autocall from the button.

I'm ahead of 77, 88, any two pair combo, TT, or any A9 combo that Button may have...so is this just a push and pray Button doesn't have 56 or JT. Ugh, I'm probably just being results oriented cause I wouldn't have posted this otherwise.

Oh, and does anyone raise this decently big PF as sort of a cash game squeeze play? I'm usually fairly passive from the blinds, as forrays into 3-betting 99 OOP killed my confidence in the move.

With 2 other people in the pot, it doesn't really matter if someone did flop the straight because you've got 7 outs on the turn and 10 outs on the river to improve.

With your read it may be ok to check - but you have to be really sure that he bets all in here. If you c/r here your representing the str8 and drawing hands might fold.

Im not sure but I think there is more value in betting out on the flop.

If you know CO c-bets mutliway pots i like the c/r on flop. Sorry to see that you probably got sucked out on by the turn or river. There's no getting away from this one IMO. I'm not 3-betting this from the blinds because there's already 2 callers so if i hit on the flop I will have a better chance at stacking someone.

Results oriented. Good read, good check, good push, good everything.
