Easiest. Fold. Ever. Totally standard.

You're only getting 5:1 on your flop call and you need something more like 22:1 to spike your set on the turn.

Just as importantly, half the table has yet to act, so it could be 3-bet behind you - by someone yet to act, or by UTG. For this reason, I might even fold something like A7s here, esp if I know UTG and/or UTG+1 to be solid players.

You should 3-bet the flop.

... oh, your pattern mapper wasn't turned on? /images/graemlins/crazy.gif
