Heads up I like this play. He's going to need a 4-card hand to have you in bad shape here, and that's just not so likely. You'd rather have a 24 or 23, but heads up this is a fine play IMO

8 people go to the flop, so I don't think I like hero's play very much. I think there is a very good chance villain might have a very strong fit with this flop. This is not a flop to run a bluff at for most people. I wouldn't be stunned to see villain have as little as a naked nut low (I think he almost surely has at least a nut low although it wouldn't be the first time a set decided to get all in freerolling a made low), but he can have a lot of hands that are basically leaving hero drawing very thin for half the pot. This looks like a very tricky hand to me. Villain also puts a huge raise through the entire field that could have all been trying to go for a check raise. I have no idea what to do here. I think you probably want to move in or fold and I lean towards folding to the raise.
