If it was just me and Button, I would call instantly here. Part of me wanted to push and go heads-up, but part of me wanted to call or fold not knowing exactly what lagtard behind me was going to do. Thoughts?

[Flups]

I think I would push to isolate BTN, and not be to upset if MP2 calls. You are ahead of 99-QQ, lower flushdraws etc. and only way behind if he shows a set or 2-pair. Doubt he has a set here, because of the flatcall on the flop.

[Sounded Simple]

Unless your against a set you have 9 clean flush outs and probably three aces and three kings as outs.
Your probably ahead in terms of equity.

Id shove to leave the lagtards money dead - I wouldnt mind a call here either since most of your outs are to the nuts.

Yeah I'm pushing this, especially if you have a read that lagtard will go to showdown with weak holdings, such as an 8 or even a lower FD.
