fold seems easy.

i'm not sure a flop bet accomplishes anything though.

Yeah, I don't like the flop lead. What capping hands are you beating? Also, button's cold call seems pretty fishy. I like a flop check so you could see the action coming back. If it went check bet raise, you could safely fold. If it went check bet call, you might be getting okay odds to overcall (to trips and runner runner straight), but you lose the same amount as leading the flop with the advantage of seeing the turn.

It looks like a good fold to me. It's hard to foresee how strangely UTG was going to go on to play the rest of the hand.

Plus, I think Button had you beat.

I don't see how you can do anything but fold in that spot.

Why are you betting this flop? I like a check/call for one bet, check/fold if its 2 bets back to you.

yeah i dunno. i pretty much feel compelled to autobet any flop after i 3-bet/call a cap preflop. that's a leak. thanks for the replies.
