Ouch, this is a nasty spot, I prolly just push as flush draws and 88+ will likely give u action (also not having the Ace of clubs makes flush draws more likely). If one of them has a set so be it.

Is there any other way to play this besides just shoving the flop? Is anyone flat-calling, and shoving non-club turn? Or flat-calling to see what UTG does?

I guess calling is alright in this spot but if the turn brings a club then what? Can you auto fold to a 3/4 pot bet at that point if a scare card comes? You could call and push any card that isnt likely to fill anyones draws.

FYI im probably never just calling here but I guess i can see logic in it.

I dont like the line of calling for three reasons.

1. If there is a draw out there, you want to get the money in right here where you are ahead. If you just call and no draw completes on the turn, ur not likely getting any action.

2. You are giving the inital bettor a great price to call and draw out. At least shove to isolate.

3. You are getting action from a lot of weaker hands. Any pp over 77, A7, or possibly a flushdraw or straight draw.

I like a large raise or a fold depending on your reads. If you don't have any reads I guess flip a coin or something.

Shove. At 25NL this could mean anything, ranging from air to flush draws/pairs/sets etc. Stick it in with a smile.
