I'm pretty new to this table and my only notices are that BB and UTG are taking alot of flops.
The pot was so enormous I just couldn't fold this. Do I fold on some street? Comments? Thanks!

Sorry, but the flop is the only street played correctly IMO [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. You need to 3-bet that flop to make it 2 back to BB, plus you have the top overpair!!! The whole hand plays differently from there. I'm assuming you lost since you posted this hand, but you need to regain control on that flop. A bet and raise on that flop from limpers gives you no indication that you're beat. You may have lost this hand but think you're winning on the flop a LOT of the time.

I'm not commenting on the other streets except to say by the river you're probably dead to something or another; I'm guessing UTG has a set of 3s, BB has like Q9, and UTG+1 has some crap pair.

Nice table BTW.
