thought about pushing the flop when it was checked to me, but it seemed like a lot of spew. when it came back around, i looked at my pot odds and went for it. is this why i'm running so bad?

I am not crazy about it vs 3 players. With a straight draw and a flush draw I doubt you will get them to fold here. If you were holding the Qc or at least had a pair for a few more outs maybe.

I would just call here... You're getting 7:1, good odds to draw for the flush/straight, and I doubt you are going to get all 3 of them to fold with a push on this flop after there's already been a bet and two callers.

I like it generally, noone has shown strength on this flop and you should have outs (how many is hard to guess).

You have odds to call anyway, but I don't know if I like putting 150 more when I have only 1280 left.

Only bad scenario is if someone calls with a bigger FD.

EZ push.

I like to call here. Push is good too.

I think you need some more value than a flushstraightdraw.
With Toppair + Good Kicker and a flushdraw this would be ok.
In this scenario you can be beaten by a higher flush and a Q. It looks like you trap yourself, Button has enough chips and seems lose enough to call this and he got 1:2 Potodds.

Pot is huge, hand is nice, stack is smallish. I'd play it like this.

The pot is 50% of your stack, so just push on the flop. Best for you if you can win the pot by everyone else folding, no? Hard to see that happening with three people in the pot when you push.

Straight flush draw I like crai here.
