Mp3 is tight aggressive
Co is semi-loose passive, 23/0

Normally I just fold the flop, but the pot was pretty big so I figured I'd peel, too loose considering the CO pf cap?

How many hands do you have w/ the CO?

What hands can he have?

Unless you think his range is a lot wider than I do I think folding the flop is prudent.

Fold the flop especially since you aren't closing the action, there's a reasonable chance MP3 check/raises.

Yeah I think I still get tied to the pot in my head, I'm like sh*t I raised, I'll peel one, I back into a flush draw and end up losing more money than I should have. ARRGH

I think that you virtually have only backdoor flush outs here and need to fold the flop.

Because you dont close the action and the person who capped pf does, I wouldn't feel bad about folding the flop.

You figure with a cap, he'd have AA, KK, QQ, or AK (maybe one or two more if he is semi-loose). You are essentially dead against all four of those hands.

Fold it and be done with it. Don't go chasing the BDFD.

Nah the call on the turn is super profitable. I think you have to fold the flop though, as you are not closing the action. Even if you were IMO it is pretty slim as I suspect your ace outs are likely not very clean.
