Interesting Combo Draw hand |

Bit of history at the table, they think I'm aggressive and have been getting a bit shifty on me at times. Button here was 48/29/1.8 over 35 hands and CO was 19.1/5.3/3.33 over 94 hands.
Preflop is up for grabs, I felt the call was good since of the stack sizes on my two opponents, and I was getting roughly 3.5:1 pot odds, not even factoring in the implied odds if I hit a nice hand, etc.

Looks very good. Considering their stats this is an excellent squeeze chance, puts real hard pressure on the tightie and the lag's raise doesn't necessarily mean much.

The problem with this play occurs when we run into higher 's, or a set. Heads up this move would be much better. Against a strong bet + a raise, I might actually fold this against some players.

I see your point DC, but if we look on the stats of the guys this is the perfect spot for a squeeze IMHO. CO is near nitty and prolly folds a ton of hands here, even if he knows this is a squeeze almost for certain this is a very tough spot for him, and button is on not too much here a good bit of the time.

Yeah this works just fine, I would probably have just shoved in, but it's the same play.
how'd it work out for ya?

DC, I ran the numbers and the higher clubs aren't as big of a fav as you thing, its ~60/40, which is basically a flip, and considering how much is out there its +EV against that hand.
BTW: I actually raised all in there, converter messed up.
I'm also not too worried about a set here, CO isn't 3betting with 9s or 10s, button may have it, but I think we say overpairs and higher clubs here like a lot.
