pre The CO seem to call 3bets OOP light but is still raising a tone on the CO so I decide just to call and play with him because he seem to be some of the weaker regs.

On the flop i prefer to raise instead of just calling because:
- The BB can lead with a wide range and will fold a tone
- The PFA just called the donkbet instead of raising on this wet board so I think his hand isnt that strong
- My hand is pretty weak ,vulnerable and im maybe already behind. I cant really continue on many cards, even if the turn is blank and its checked to me I dont like to bet or to call a bet.

So I turned my hand into a bluff because the BB and the CO will likely fold. I´ve planned to fold to a reraise of the BB.
I called the CO shove because I think his range only contains flushdraws.
He most likely raise 2pair+ against the donk
I dont think he´s capable of shoving any J there. (Maybe sometimes AJ)
So with the deadmoney and my given equity its ok?

in a 4 way pot really?

do the poker stove dance.

id just go ahead and fold on the flop. i think theres a legit chance that he can still have a set. leading out in this spot already gives him a strong range to begin with. i assume he doesnt raise in the first place because theres still 2 players behind and one is a fish, but once its HU and it seems that you want to play for stacks, he can just jam.
also I think we have to discount flushdraws, your raise looks so strong that he shouldnt expect much FE on his shove.

why is this a reason to call?=!=!
