Final Pot: $473
UTG+1 shows [ 9d, Ah ] a pair of nines.
MP3 shows [ As, Ad ] a pair of aces.
MP3 wins $803 from the main pot with a pair of aces.

I called this flop because the limpers prior to the raiser are all relatively deep stacked and have shown an inability to get away from a paired face card. I flopped a very strong hand and seriously considered pushing since I was first to act but I wanted some extra dead $ in the pot so I checked. The # of people pushing the action after the flop coninvinced me that my flush outs were not good if I got a call from any of the middle position players so I laid it down. Comments on whether I should have either bet out or called the push from the UTG+3?
