Re: I\'m looking for a reason not to give up on this hand....
Thats a rough raise preflop... Well, lessee here, you have top pair with a good kicker, there's a total rainbow on the board, the pot is really damn big, and I doubt the guy has KJ, since he is forcing a lotta players to call 2 cold.
However, reasons TO fold may outweigh that... Nobody seems to be scared of top pair, or everyone's an absolute maniac. With all that turn action, I dunno if your top pair is good here. MP2 capped the flop and shows no signs of slowing down whatsoever.. 5 outs requires 8:1, which you are just *barely* getting, and if UTG re-raises, you WON'T be getting.. That's 5 outs assuming they're all good, which they may not be. 2 pair may not win anyway, so I'd give you 3.5 or so, and the pot isn't even close to big enough to call for that.
This whole thing reeks of a set to me.. If you have any respect for this player, or NO read for that matter, I'd fold. There's just too much resistance...
