big pot, but i just toss it on the flop the first time.

Fold flop.

I think when it's 2 bets to you on the flop you can let this one go.

Fold on the flop. Very likely at least one set out there and/or two pair from someone playing 56s. Way too many legitimate possibilities that can beat you even if you do hit your hand.

Fold flop. You're calling two cold! You also don't usually call with a bunch of people to act after you. What if it gets raised again? 3-bet or fold. 3-bet sucks so fold.

That's what I was thinking after the fact. But the result was upsetting. MP2 shows down 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], BB had 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and MP1 takes it with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], so I would have had it. MP2 I knew to completely disregard this guy, but the the others I was less clear on. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, but you can't be results-oreitned. Given that you had no reads on the other guys, you have to toss on the flop. But you should have adjusted your play for future hands after seeing this showdown.

I'd fold to 2 cold on flop.

Terrible cold-call on the flop. You're getting 10.5-1 but there's the potential for further bets AND you're getting terrible reverse implied odds. Easy fold.
