Why are you concerned with the call by MP1? Did you think you had any FE against UTG+1? If you put UTG+1 on a big pair then the same can be said for MP1. I doubt MP1 has a hand like AK and he certainly doesn't have a flush draw or 86 so your chances of winning the pot go down if MP1 is in there but if you hit your straight or set the chances are pretty high that you'll triple up. If I'm going all-in here I want three-way action. Am I missing something?

Because he really affect my equity.

I stated in the post I *knew* he was coming along, and I had 40% pot equity against him if he has what I think he has, I'm getting a good price and not worried about FE.

I thought he *may* have a flush draw, but he probably raises it.

Schwza outlines my concerns fairly well.

I'm trying to figure if my loss in pot equity if MP1 comes along is more than the chips he's putting in (i.e. if he comes, is that a good thing or bad thing.)
