Discount first raise. 1st reraise by button might be a move b/c of the small min raise. I definately like the move to $3.50. This bet should eliminate the first better unless he's a donk trying to min raise then reraise.. (which is what happened here). Once CO goes all in you gotta think he's underplaying a pretty good hand and once the button calls off the all in it's a really easy fold. I think you played it very well.. Don't look at the results of the nine on the flop as that's just one of those flops that are meant only for you to question your play. As played you have to put one of these guys on an over pair to your nines. Just so happened that they both had the perfect hands for you to call off but I think the fold is the optimal play here.

I fold and then punch the wall when I see their hands and that board.

Agree with Imar, I like the re-raise, nh

IF I'm 3-betting here, I'm committing myself to play for shorty's stack. So IF I am in fact 3-betting, I'm gonna raise it to $7-$8. If shorty pushes and the button just calls, I call. If shorty pushes and the button pushes, I fold.

But I don't know if I 3-bet here against 2 laggy opponents. Chances are both of them are going to at least call and we're going to the flop out of position against 2 guys who could have almost any 2 cards. I probably just call and hope shorty just calls. If he decides to stick in another decent raise, I would fold.

I do take the line of just calling buttons raise pretty often, but it's so wide open for a squeeze.

My thinking for the 3-bet was to gain some credibility on a flop c-bet, or possibly a c/r given the board that came up.

Also, I was playing for all of CO's stack. But with the bigger stack involved, I didn't want to over commit. Had the button not called behind CO's push, it would have been a pretty easy call for me.
