Default Bellagio 5diamond Hand

30K starting chips with 50-100 blinds.

I’m around 27K when UTG+1 limps for 100, UTG+2 is a super weak loose donk playing in his 3rd ever tournament (1st and 2nd being the satellites to get into this one), he makes it 500. This is deep into level 1 and while he has been in a number of pots, he has not raised preflop yet. I’m next to act with JJ, I call. Joe Awada, a couple spots behind me calls, Jdags in the SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 limper calls.

2600 in the pot, flop is 664r. Jdags leads out for 1200, limper folds, UTG+2 calls, I call, Awada makes it 2500 more, 3700 total. Everyone folds to me. 2500 to call, 9900 in the pot. I think for a minute, and Awada says, “don’t make me sweat longer than I have to.” I fold.

This is the first time I've played with Awada. He has been the most aggressive at the table so far. He is certainly capable of having nothing here. He can also have many hands with a 6 in it. I wouldn't be surprised if he called in this spot preflop with nearly any two cards. It's also a certainty that he will not just shut down on the turn if I call his raise.

Knowing how the hand turned out, raising the flop the first time around looks like a good idea, of course. Should I have been able to see this? When I called the flop I wasn't worried about Awada, I was worried about the other two. I wanted to just call the flop so that I could play the next two streets with position.

Thoughts?
