I do have a read, I won 100 chippies against this guy before, with a set, against what seemed to be a flushdraw, but turned out to be something else (unknown). No reads. I don't use stats on purpose, because the 100$ Buy in doesn't really mean anything to me (as long as I don't lose bigtime, and Im not a fish, so that'll be allright), and I play NL100 to practice for NL600 live, for which I won't have the stats either.

Questions:
1. Can I fold on this flop (Id guess not :P)
2. Can I play bet50/fold? Won't a reraise commit me, because pple do this with flushdraws too?
3. Is a push ok?

OK, let's analyze the facts:
- drawheavy board
- BB leads PS into 3 opponents
- you have an overpair, no draw

Our options are:
- Raise - if we raise, we are definitely commited. We can't minraise as we don't protect this way. We also can't play Raise/fold as the pot is too big - folding then would be an error.
- Call - we don't know where we stand. The turn typically doesn't improve our holding, but many cards make it more difficult to continue
- Fold - not happy about it but I'd fold in this spot. I give up my equity in the 20$ pot, but I think its good: I'm either way behind (2 Pair, Set) or I'm in a flip-like situation against a strong (combo-)draw. I don't want to play for stacks with my holding given the strength of the donk.
