Default Set against two TAGs, massive pot...

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

MP1 = 13/8/3(aggression)
MP3 = 17/8/2(aggression)
I respect both of their play...

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 3-bets</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (16.33 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 3-bets</font>, CO folds, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, BB calls.

Turn: (16.16 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

River: (25.16 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, Hero folds...

Should i be calling the river because the pot is sooo big? I can't see any hands that i really beat now, and my call doesnt close the action...

Comments?

Ah, the good old furcoat dilemma.

I think on this river you can bet and call one, or bet and fold to two. Checking makes it awfully hard to play out, but you will see AK very often here, probably at least 30% of the time, so once you check and it's 28:2 not closing the action, I think folding is prudent.

This is tough, but I'll give it a try.

I think MP3 or (more likely) MP1 could have A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], but I am having trouble seeing how you have them both beat. AK sure does seem likely for at least one of them.

I'm not very good at folding boats in big pots, though, so I'm guessing I would have paid off.

on the river i figured that i was beat, at least by one of them, if i bet and am raised i am definitely beat but don't know if i can make that fold for only one bet...but if i check and its only one to me then i feel much better calling since i could be up against AQ, but if i check and its two back to me then i can make a relatively easy fold...
