Default Flopped the high straight, what now?

Empire 50 NL 9 handed

UTG+2 (220) limps, Button (51)limps, Hero (125)calls from SB, BB checks

Flop (3.8) QT9c

Hero bets 3, BB folds, UTG+2 raises to 6, Button moves all in, Hero ??

Results later.

UTG+2 was not nearly as good as most players with 4x the buyin. I would probably call him average for this level.

Yeah it's all clubs, I'm not sure there'd really be a decision if it wasn't. I don't really make a habit of folding the near nuts [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i think the main question is.. do you feel comfortable playing a side pot with utg. if you call and so does utg the pot is $113 and it leaves you $70 left, if you push utg is only calling with a better hand.

posted your hand in the high stakes and it seems the answer is to fold.

In high stakes it's auto-fold, but Empire has a danger zone (the song runs through my head really quick, ok I'm back) at NL 50. It's really hard to seperate the fish from the tricky players, as I've seen a lot of slow playing high pockets / big suited broadway.
