Preflop: Hero is CO with 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG+1 posts a blind of $0.5.
UTG calls, UTG+1 (poster) checks, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, Hero calls, Button raises, SB 3-bets, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, Hero ???

Simple question: The table hadn't been this aggressive preflop normally, so the question is- with one bet already in and a bunch of callers in between, do I call two more back, cap it, or fold?

I'm figuring one of the raisers to have AA or KK, is the pot big enough to take a shot at flopping a set? Or is this a no-brainer fold?

Easy call. Take a close look at the pot odds you're getting on the flop if you don't flop a set; if you flop a set, you're gonna get a ton of bets out of this.

It looks like you're getting 18:2 immediately with the possibility of it being capped, but with this many people in the pot you don't want to fold.

Easy call. You have odds to try for a set. For more on this topic, check out this thread currently going in the small stakes forum.

Never fold a pocket pair after putting money (limping in or raising). Playing in the BB against a raise and a re-raise is a different story.

This would not be too far from perfect.

Don't worry, the turn was 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and the river was the 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] was gonna take down this pot, it wasn't yours anyway.
