Okay so the CO in the hand is fairly TAGgy player who posts at LiquidPoker forums, no stats of him yet, but he's okay player. The deep stackked BB is a huge 85/20/2 fish and I think he's on a flush draw. My push was meant to get him to join in for the extra equity. The action so far suggests that i'm up against a very good combo draw or made straight - worst case scenario, set over set. Is this line fine here or is calling and hoping for the board to pair better. The board is so drawy, there are TONS of cards that can either kill my action or kill my hand.

This was just very confusing /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'd raise more preflop and on the flop. AI is fine.

Your flop raise is a little small, especially with that many draws and 2 players left to act behind you. Wouldn't a raise to about $18 be better? The if CO pushes and BB calls, you are getting proper odds to draw out against a straight.

I have question about how you put the CO on the possible combo draw, because if he is decent, wouldn't he push with a combo draw so that he can see the next 2 cards?

I might raise a little more on such a coordinated board, but besides that, I like.

Mebbe he didn't want to make it obvious - there's a chance that it'll be checked to him on almost any turn cards /images/graemlins/laugh.gif At least on those stakes. But dunno.

Ya but I would rather take whats in there with bottom set then let people draw to thier flush and straights.
