Hello

Firstly, I'd like to know what you think of the preflop call? I was close to folding but thought with two players in already and closing the action I can call for 2 BB. On the flip side I am sandwiched and with a dominated hand, but I'm aware of that and can get away from it if I face a lot of resistance. BUs steal range is really wide and his stats are 72/28.

On the flop I was planning to check/raise my OESD with 2 overs but chickened out and just called. What's the optimal play here?

On the turn with a paired board and 2 flush draws I didnt think I had implied odds to call so let it go. Standard?

Thanks!

Hey Alan,

I think preflop is better to squeeze. Your hand is marginal 3way, still playable vs wide ranges but will deifnitely be profitable if you 3bet. You give yourself the chance to win the pot preflop and increase the chances you win it postflop with initiative. Calling is only OK if you have ideas how to win the pot if you don't hit. Here you hit a decent piece and still didn't put any pressure on your opponent which probably makes calling even worse.
