NL200: open trips c/r'd from a weird position

Tough situation. I've found open trips to frequently be a dangerous hand. The checkraise is at least another queen, and without the nut kicker, I'd be a little worried. Button called too, and is left to act. If he called the 8 from you, I imagine he's calling the check raise too. (I'd be even more worried if he had a larger stack) You're probably sandwiched between someone who may have you beat, and someone who is on the diamond draw. No shame in folding here. AQ, KQ, 33 all possible limping hands from UTG.

Well put!
