We are down to the final 3 in last night's Bovada $3k. The blinds are 2500/5000/??? and the stack sizes are SB 240k, me in BB 112k, and the button at 53k.
SB card racked and ran up the lead in the last 5 minutes. Since then, he has been limping from Button and SB. This time, the button limps (proably reacting to this) and the SB completes. I check 5dKc.
Flop is 2sQc3c. Not great and SB checks, so I check and Button checks.
Turn is the 4c. Not bad as I now have OESD and flush draws, maybe a K on the river wins the hand also.
SB bets 5k, I call 5k and Button shoves 47k into the $25k pot. I had 112k to start hand, SB has $240k…
I am completely unable to put him on a strong hand as played and it actually looks like a draw. I have (at max) 4 ace outs, 4 “six” outs, 7 other clubs, and possibly 3 other kings for 18 outs.
In the moment, this seems like a very difficult position because I am expecting he may have a big club or a Queen… But with the Q it seems silly to overbet the pot here. So I put him on a similar draw to mine… Is this a must fold or is there room for a call?

Personally I wouldn't have played the hand so passively. I would bet about half the time on the flop as they are clearly weak players if limping like this so you can easily tell if they have a hand on how they react to the flop bet. On the turn I like a raise, especially if payjumps are small, but either way I would raise the turn.
As played its a fold imo. You have plenty of chips and can outplay your opponents, not call off and hope to hit.

I don't think he's on a draw, or if he is it's a pair+draw. This feels like a protection spot, like maybe a set or a straight. You probably don't have 18 outs. On the other hand unless he has exactly the a flush you have decent equity against his range. And if you call and lose you'll still have a little over 10bb which isn't the end of the world, especially if they are going to be doing a lot of limping 3 way.
Personally I'd fold cause I think I have a good handle on how the typicaly Bovada players play and with 20ish bb I like my chances. But I can see a case for calling too. I'd be really curious to find out what the hand history shows he had. I find that even though it doesn't make any sense you'll see ofter in similair spots they have the stone cold nuts.

When someone bets like 1/4 pot and you have a massive draw you should probably raise. As played, it’s probably fold but I think you should look at your equity vs his range before deciding that. Good to know how much of an edge you’re considering passing up.

payjump amounts would be very useful here. watching topic for future posts
