    A flat call is good here. Lead out the turn for something weak like 300.

    I agree with Saucy here. Flat call the raise because that makes it very enticing for CO to call as well (and if you are lucky he will re-raise). If CO just calls lead out on the turn with a bet of half to 1/4 of the pot which looks like a weak steal attempt.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    I think the button will call if you push. They always do....

    But it would be nice to let someone chase a flush on a paired board. I don't mind the flat call but do you think we can get either of them to go to the felt once we have called this?

    EDIT: What am I saying, of course we can.

    indeed, i flat-called the raise. BB folds, CO pushes all-in, button went over the top, i called.

    just curious if i should be worried with three other people in the pot.

    I someone has 44 here you're going to lose your stack, and rightfully so. That's the only hand that can beat you... I see no reason to worry how many people are in the pot once you flop top boat.

    Im going to flat call here as well, and hope someone hits the nut flush or fills their 4s. Someone could have something like AA or KK as well that could potentially beat you on the turn or river but im looking to get all my chips in this pot.
