But you gots da straight flush draw you can't fold!

I might check the flop oop with 3 people behind you and call if the action isn't too scary. You have a bunch of outs, but the non-heart 5s would be a little scary, so 10 clean outs. Might also be merit to a smaller blocking bet. If you get 3 callers you're probably happy.

Turn I don't know. You'd think he would have raised the flop if he had flopped the non-nut flush. If he doesn't have a flush you probably have some fold equity. Even if he calls you have the combo draw. I think the semi-bluff shove is ok but interested to hear if people disagree.

Against three opps seeing the flop I think I would check with the intention of raising (AI if possible) if somebody bets. You actually have very good equity in this spot - certainly you're almost 60% to win against somebody with an overpair. Don't forget you also have two high overcards which give you even more outs. If you get a free turn card that's not a bad thing either.

As played, once you bet it on the flop I think the shove is fine. Against an overpair you still have 35-40% equity and considering the size of the pot you should still have good fold equity.

Wow you're right, hadn't asked the stove. Git it in!

C/R if I'm getting it in i want to do it on the flop if at all possible.

Yea once you get to the turn it's a pretty lame spot. I don't think you have very much fold equity. I doubt he called KhXx on the flop when you pot with 2 people behind. I c/f turn and call if he makes a mistake in betting under 1/2 pot. Depending on his range (given overpairs and 1 or 2 sets) getting it in here is about b/e chip ev but is bad given icm.

I like c/shove and it's likely someone bets this flop for protection or value 4 way. You have plenty of fold equity and pot equity here.

Otherwise lead smaller (200/250) and hope to get raised. You can then play poker on the turn. Given your sizing I just think he plays his range perfectly and he's not folding on a harmless offsuit 8. I like your play better on a AKQ (J?) turn, both because your hand improves and because the K/J scares away 77-TT which could be a large part of his range.
