Folds absent any reads to the contrary. You're behind to Q9, AQ, or any flush. Button is sure representing a strong flush. You also face a possible cap from MP2.

It's possible you'll be folding the best hand and someone is overplaying 2 pair or some such hand, but with a raise and a re-raise following your bet, well the flush card hit and they both seem to like their hands a lot.

This is a bit of a tough call. As is usually the case, it depends on the style of your opponents. If they are the sort that only raise with the goods, then you are in trouble here. I'm guessing the re-raiser has you beat. Of course, you are the one at the table so you will have a much better idea of what they may be raising with here.

On the other hand, this could be one of these posts where we all say to fold, and you post the results later showing they both had nothing [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Playing during the day against decent players this seems like an auto fold. This happened late on a Friday night. I seemed to be running into a lot of craziness at the tables last night. No specific player reads yet here, but in light of these facts does this make a call a little stronger? results to follow.

MP2 has JJ two pair
Button has K2 two pair

I folded two straights last night on the river in situations like this, and both times gave up big pots. Starting to quetstion my laydowns.
