Hi,
villain with short stack is a "decent" player (14/9), the other one is a fish (39/13). Samples are not large and I have no notes on villains, so no further info. OTF we have TPTK and fish bets. I believe he can have FDs in his range and some weaker Q probably. So I decide to raise, because we want to get money in ASAP. The player after me decides to go all in. He is short, but still, it´s 3way and he is already 3 betting, so his range must be nuts (or some straight, because I don´t really expect him to hold AK - due to preflop game). Anyway, so he´s got me beaten, we can be pretty sure about that, but it´s only 40 more cents and we still can get stack from that fish. What´re your thoughts guys?

That's a nice looking Flop at first glance, but it also hits the CO calling range pretty heavy. I would call the bet from the BB and see what the tight CO does and reevaluate. As played I think its close but I'm leaning towards a fold. We're probably beat by at least one player, and we're hoping to be ahead for a sidepot with the big stack? Not sure how to calculate this one. Should bring the equilab or flopzilla and a calculator for this...

It's hard to say what the fish can have, but I guess it's more likely he's doing this donky play with a value-hand. The guy behind you still has 40bb in his stack, and even though he is a mid-stack there's no reason to go nuts with TPTK on such a drawy texture. I understand your thought-process, but sometimes you gotta take it slow, especially 3way, going broke with TPTK is probably not the best idea since there are many hands out there that have you beat already. Plus: You block the nut-flush-draw and you have still outs to improve.

I see no reason to raise flop with TPTK. When you face a 3bet and a shove, you are definitely behind.
