I raise with AA UTG. UTG+1 (calling station) calls, a player in MP (very agressive, not particularly loose or tight) 3 bets, button calls, BB calls, I cap, all call.

Flop: T,T,5 rainbow. I bet, UTG+1 calls, MP raises, Button and BB fold, I call, UTG+1 3 bets, MP caps. I know MP doesn't have a T or 55, but I really can't see UTG+1 playing the way he did (smooth calling my bet, then raising when I tried to slow down) unless he had the goods. Still, I'm getting 17:1 to call. Not enough to justify chasing the boat, not far from it close.
What do I do?

Really? He almost surely has MP beat, but UTG+1's call-3bet line looks like a T. I'd probably fold on the turn UI. Is that horrible?

I watched a loose-passive player do this the other day with 22 (a 70/2/.3 player). Obviously I wouldn't have this concern as much because I'd 3-bet this flop.

If there's a boatload (no pun intended) of action on the turn, I can release. But if he's able to string me along for one bet on each street, I'm seeing a showdown.

Yeah, that bothers me about this hand.

Ok, this makes sense. You aren't going to be trapped between the two villians unless UTG+1 pulls a NASTY check raise, which I would probably be so impressed with I wouldn't even be angry.

Does your plan change if UTG+1 bets and MP calls versus if UTG+1 checks and MP bets? I think if UTG+1 bets and MP raises it's a pretty straight forward fold.
