UTG+2 seems solid
MP2 is slightly loose and passive.
CO is a LAG
Button is slightly loose and aggressive.

Well, I pretty much toss it here. Depending on how your read on the CO, I am guessing Kx. Plus you still have UTG+2 to act who was the oringal PF raiser. I don't think my hand is good here and only one 1.5 outs (two queens, but drawing dead against a slow played KK from UTG+2... though I don't get KK from anyone here). My $.02.

Hero cusses loudly.

Then folds. I don't think there's much chance you're ahead.

You're beat, but I don't think calling down is that bad, especially against LAG. He may just be trying to pick off a bluff.

UTG+2 is either chasing an ace or calling down w/ JJ, TT, 99, etc.

Ok, I folded, and I did not have the best hand. But after looking at the hand, and not trying to be results oriented, I wondered about this fold. No one raised the flop, and the turn raise came from and aggressive player with trips on the board. The solid player in the hand has just called along.

Getting ~13-1 on my turn call and assuming to see a showdown I am getting ~8-1, (assuming I call the turn and check/call the river and no one else raises), calling this down may work out to +EV in the long run. I also might have no idea what I'm talking about /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Like I said, I folded, UTG+2 called the turn and check/called the river.

UTG+2 had AA
LAG had K7

Not what I expected to see from UTG+1 whom at the time, I though was a solid player.

Well, did UTG+2 at least cap the turn?

I would have expected a cap preflop, but I do not think his flop play was TOO bad. He may have been praying (and it worked) that someone had the K and would do just what CO did on the turn allowing him to cap the turn and lead the river for a value bet.
