How passive is MP3? Is there any chance he does this with trips or a straight?

Sure, and he could be bluffing. But is it worth 3+BB to find out in this pot?

Well, I'm not at all convinced you are beat. You only have to be good about 22% here to make calling down correct. I think it's close.

If you are, like me, struggling with making good laydowns, it might be good discipline to fold in spots like this. Because it may be right, and it can't be too wrong.

At first I thought this was weak but considering the size of the pot and the fact that you do not close the action, I guess folding the one card straight flush draw is OK

Or you could cap.
