How should I have played this one? I think it would have been +EV to push if i knew i would get both callers on the flop but I had no way of knowing this. I was pretty sure someone had a flush.

Don't like the limp with QQ UTG. I understand with AA and KK...but QQ is a lot weaker. I'd rather just raise it up and take my chances. Not a major gripe or anything, just a suggestion.

His implied odds are rediclously good.

On the flop, you have to call $34 to get a shot at a pot that is already $170 and will certainly be much bigger. You have 7 outs to fill up on the turn, say 15%. So your pot odds are already pretty close.

One opponent had the nut flush draw while the other two had flushes. A low flush is going to try to protect against the 4th flush card coming, even if the board pairs, because a lone is a lot more likely than a flopped set. So I think you do win a huge huge pot even if the board pairs.

The pot is $70 when he calls the reraise to $40.
And he's sandwiched.

Good point. I jumped ahead. Makes it tougher.
