I would give a lot of consideration to just folding the flop with MP behind you. One of them will have you beat vast majority of the time. Even if UTG is dumb I doubt he bets w.o an ace or king here. And you won't play him off a king no matter what. And you have MP to worry about.

I have to agree here...though I hate it. I've been getting a lot better at folding in these kinds of situations but its still an area i need to improve on.

MP's somewhat solid stats and UTG betting into both of us seemed awful on the flop and I think my flop raise may be the big mistake of the hand. One of those situations where you make a move out of frustration and and justify it in the back of your mind.

The turn card was what really threw me and his continued betting didn't really make sense with his limited flop agression.

I agree that this is a fold on the flop, but I think it is a lot closer than it looks. I think you are about a 2.74:1 dog to be ahead of both players and are getting 2.5:1 effective odds on the call down.
