Are you sure that if the btn raises we only call?

What is our equity on the flop?

How many outs do we have discounted?

Pretty standard bet/3bet I think, unless someone can show me some math that says I am not +EV here. Turn brings my gut shot straight. Other then that the turn doesn't change much.

C/r'ing is pretty spewtastic. Donking can be fine, but in this particular spot, you are likely to get raised, thus having to pay one more BB.

Yeah mine too. But I think it's worth it, considering how awesome it is.

Not a lot to add other than I agree with WhatASurprise. On the flop you bet/3bet/cap quite happily.

On the turn, a check/call is the right way to go. Given the flop action, you have to assume someone has a made hand, whether it's top pair, a set, even a made flush, so there's no point C/Ring as you're behind so there's no value in it, and at least one of the villains is never folding. Same argument for donking really, you're just giving value to hands that are beating you.

If a heart comes on the river, then you will want to lead for value, as a non flush is going to check behind.

I would like to add that just because you do not have the best hand that you can not raise for value.

Your hand might be <50% to "win" on the flop, but since it's 3handed I am guessing that vs. the reasonable range of the 2 villains you are at least 30% to win, maybe even 40% since there is a non-zero chance thatthe raiser is pushing HIS flush draw (and thus your overcards are outs too) ... therefore you are a "money favorite" and so raising here IS for "value" (might get a free card on the turn too, though your position makes it unlikely).

Since the button raised and capped the flop, it's very possible that you're up against a big made hand -- possibly a lower flush with the suited connectors. At the very least, I would imagine that you're up against a Q.

So, in either case, I think you c/C the turn. There is no point betting into places where you have negative -EV. Even a pair of Q's has you beat here, b/c you have probably 19 outs (9 hearts, 3A, 3K, 4J) and only one card (19*2 = 38% to win hand on river). Of course, if you're certain that he has a Q, etc, you could always try bluffing him off the hand with another bet. However, my experience with low limit holdem suggests to me that he is very likely to call you down here, especially with another player in the pot.
