.5/1 hand. Im not sure about something

fuzzbox

Alright - so heres me playing on a .5/1 table on PPP.

I have KdTd on the CO and 100.
Stack sizes are various (as they always seem to be at this level on this site).

Preflop
Everybody limps, I limp along, and the button makes it 3 (hands up who does this !!!???), everybody calls (seeeeee) (apart from one guy).

Flop (15)
Kh Th 5d
Checked to me, I bet 15, button thinks and calls, one of the EP limpers calls, and its three to the turn (I have 85, button covers, and EP has 45)

Turn (45)
6d
EP moves-in, I push for the rest .... can I call? Or do I always push?

i always find the "3" raise is nearly always a big PP bet.Its a bet meant to keep people in the pot. Its a stupid bet and i've been guilty off it when starting off online.I'm not surprised if it was even an AA bet vul if it was KK

He gets my stack with KK.

My question is: can I call the turn, to try to keep him in, as I have top two and a flush draw. However there are lots of other draws (there are two broadway cards, and a heart flush draw), that he might have.

Do I want to just smooth call the turn, hoping he plays (and doesnt suck out) , or do I just put it in now, and hope he plays for 85 regardless.

my original thought was AA with his bet and in that case i dont think you would've played it any differently.Of all the hands beating you only KK stands out.

You want to get your money in here in a multi way pot as there are a lot of draws as you mentioned and if the guy has QHJH i dont think he'll fold anyway so tank it in and hope u even take down a side pot!!!

Very unlucky btw. If the guy had reraised on the flop with KK perhaps you might've gotten away from it but he was brave in smooth calling.

No - he didnt have KK, but if he does, then he would get my stack.

In the real hand he folded, and I hit a diamond anyway to make a flush ... and the other guy had KQo !!!

I think you should just push, he might well fold the river if a scare card comes and you bet, and if hes drawing he wont put any money in on the river

The dude pushed for 45, so its not insignificant.
