Mid-pairs on undercard flop

[shoeman]

What do you do when you play a mid pair for set value and the flop comes all under cards? They are very tempting to play but I think may be costing me money. I realize this is very dependent on the number of players seeing the flop but I'm just not sure what to do sometimes. Here is an example:



Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) converter

MP3 ($24.4)
CO ($23.75)
Button ($50.15)
SB ($34.6)
BB ($10.2)
UTG ($42.2)
UTG+1 ($46.25)
Hero ($23.75)
MP2 ($27.9)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.25, MP2 calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls $0.75, Hero calls $0.75, MP2 calls $0.75.

Flop: ($4.35) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets $2</font>, UTG calls $2, Hero ???.

If you where in a better position i would bet but here i would fold.
