fold pf.

your only move on the flop is push or fold, in my opinion.

Nobody sees a flop with this? Even when MP1 is raising 3 times per round? I think pushing on the flop would be the worst of three options. Am I wrong here?

The question was about the turn. What should be done here?

I wouldn't fold pre, he's basicly min-raising so you're odds to call are good. I'd push the flop, if he's been raising a lot, he probably doesn't have anything so your fold equity is huge.

Against an aggressive big stack, push the flop. Possibly push the turn as well...?

Why not check-raise the flop, getting some value out of opponents crappy holding??

If you just push he will fold the bad hands and call you with his good holdings.

If villan has been raising 3 times an orbit, and most have his raises have been about this size, i think its fine to see a flop. You should include that in your original post though.
I don't like open pushing, or check-raise pushing this flop. You are pushing about 7800, into a pot of 2600. I like calling the flop, check raise push any turn we improve on. That includes A, flush or OESD, which is about half the deck.

If we don't improve, we get to see what villan does again, He might shut down after trying a continuation bet on the flop, and check it down. If he bets full pot, i fold. stack sizes are going to be akward this hand, and we have plenty of chips left.
