CO is 48 9 2, Btn is solid. My plan was to get to showdown w. out going broke, It worked out as planned but was it the best startegy here?

I think it's fine up to the point where you didn't c/r the turn

I hate your plan, mostly because it doesn't involve the other guys going broke.

I would make a big re-raise on the flop, and push any turn. Button cold-called $12, indicating that he has the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] most of the time. Make him pay to draw to it. MP likes his hand a lot too, so you might get it all-in on the flop, which would be a great result.

I would be going broke here every time. You beat a ton of lower flushes, which aren't going to fold. If the button just has the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], which is quite likely IMO, then you are only beaten by a Q-high flush.

Not going broke here would be very weak-tight.

3-bet flop, take it from there. As played, c/r the turn.

Dont check call the turn, you want to get as much money in this pot after that safe turn card fell. Id personally bet the turn hope he raises then 3 bet all in. Your gonna be way ahead here a good majority of the time.
