First hand dealt, I get a limp on the BB. I remember thinking, what type of hand would UTG limp with and I decided a low drawing hand that needed either an A or 2 for it to become the nut and possibly top pair, two pair, C/O do to the flat call unstead of a squeeze, I decided had about the same.

My initial instinct was to fold the Nut flush draw and 3rd nut low draw, but I had a brain fart and just called (the raise was for show only as it looked like UTG would be all-in if he just called the C/O raise).

In retrospect, I think it would have been better to check the flop, then it could be only $7 if UTG bet and C/O raised, and I could have peeled and gotten much better equity on the turn. But that seems kind of hind sightish.

Give me a consensus on how I should have played my hand?

It's a wash for me, someone probably does have 32 but it's 3way action so your flush draw is very strong. You've probably got something like 30% equity. Not much difference between shipping and folding.

I'm really not in love with jamming, u only have 3 clean scoop outs. It's likely that someone has a better low draw here much of the time.. so even if you do hit your flush most of them are for a chop.

If you are waiting to make a hand to get your money in, you are letting the other high hands escape. It's somewhat high variance play; but I like the push of the NFD.

That would be a sim where you get somewhat loose action and you're still behind. So you still need some dead money and/or fold equity and that's not likely to happen. Mostly the behefit of aggression is to promote your amazing pair of fives.

LoL, I thought I was trying to promote my 3rd nut low and hoping to make nut flush along the way.

high variance play: shove
low variance play: fold

easy. if you have better reads on your opponents, you will know which play makes more sense.

wow, CO is an idiot.

I think you played the hand fine. With both players all in u def have enough equity. Based on the action i would have assumed at least on player had top two or a set. Considering that your lo may actually be good to chop as well. Like many said it's pretty much a wash in my opinion. My play would def be to get it in here...could be why I have a dice icon beside my name in HEM
