Re: This isn\'t in the playbook, but it should be
I think the most critical point of this hand was the flop. Laying down your two pair would have been tough, but I had to believe that MP3 had a high pocket pair after raising and capping Preflop. If this had been the turn or river, continuing would have been easier, but from the flop forward, you lost about 9.5BB if I counted right--and that hurts!
If I were to continue, I'd be very wary and be calling, which I'm not crazy about for 3 rounds of betting. Once the third 6 hits and with the size of the pot, I think you have to stay in with your full house, but I wouldn't have been raising; I'd have been "crying" as I called to the end.
But as I said before, I think folding when the flop hit, while a tough lay down, would have been correct.
