I didn't put a lot of thought into this fold and forgot to look at the size of the pot. Should I have called 2 bets for my overs, or fold assuming someone hit trips?

We can't believe that MP2 cold-called with a 5, not just yet. The pot is huge and you have odds to draw.

I think there's a good chance MP2 just has an overpair of some sort or a 6. Among other things, if he had a 5, he might just call the LAG's auto-bet and try to trap the field.

Anyway, I'd stay in. One unfortunate thing is that MP1 is here to gamble and might 3-bet, so the flop could get expensive. And if any of the MPs happen to have trips, we are drawing dead.

But I'm not ready to give up yet.
