Big draw early ($6.50)

[Brocktoon]

CO had not been very active thus far.

Button was a horrible calling station but I hadn't seen him raise yet and this was definitely the first time he had shoved. FWIW he got all his chips by calling huge bets from TPTK (AK) with a gutshot on the flop that turned into a gutter+flushdraw on the turn.

Overall the table was very loose passive preflop or I probably would have folded the A3s to begin with.

<font color="blue"> I considered going all in on this flop but I knew button would call me and I didn't want to get it in with small blinds and the worst hand. The fact that I thought the table was full of bad players who I could hopefully trap later was a factor here too. </font>
