I'm unsure what to do here.... flat call? raise big and call a push?

I think raising is bad here. You want to keep both villains in the pot. By raising you're likely to force 1 of the two out. You don't have a combo draw, just the FD. So if you raise and SB folds and CO repops it all in you're behind and there won't be enough dead money in the pot to give you correct odds. I'm flat calling here hoping to induce an over call by SB. If SB reraises and CO either calls/raises I'll try to get it all in with two to come knowing both villians are in the pot. If SB raises and CO fold I fold. Hope this makes sense. Curious as to what others think about this.

[Brimstead]

yeah, makes perfect sense, thanks.

I would call (4.67 to 1 pot odds, plus 9 outs). A shove might put you in hot water.
