I had 57 suited on BB in a 4 way limped pot.

Flop comes 4d6sQs, giving me an open ended straight and flush draw.

I lead out with a 12c bet into 16c pot. UTG called, CO min. raised.

I decided to shove it ($2.80 into 64c pot). Both called. UTG had Q6. CO had limped with KK... 1 K was a spade so I actually had 14 outs.

I ended up with a 44% of tripling up when the coins went in, but failed to catch my outs. I caught a 5 on the turn to gimme 2 more outs for the river, but didn't get it.

Was I better off flat calling the small raise on the flop?

Sounds like a good situation to me. My friend and I actually found that shoving at lower limits works really well. Especially, if you are 60% max BI or so.

Shove is a fine play. You are a favorite against an overpair, and even in good shape if someone has 2 pair or a set. Add in the times you fold out a better hand or even the nut flush draw and you're in the $$

shoving also gives you some FE, when called you still have a shit tonne of outs and equity vs their calling ranges so its the correct play.

By the way, sorry for the crazy coding in the original post. I am posting from work and copy and pasted from Word. I didn’t notice that somehow that led to all the coding. I can’t edit it now.

Reraise/call or raise large enough to shove any turn if they call to stop them folding any marginal hands, even if you miss on the turn you'll still have fold equity against weak hands, you'll have got more value, and you've got a bazillion outs on the river if they are ahead.

Good shove.

Flatting on flop is bad because if you hit flush you will likely not get any more value out of the hand unless villains are loose passive or believe that you are prone to bluffing.
