Playing a bad flop in a big pot

[Jim Morgan]

In a very loose and fairly passive 6-12 game you are in the BB with AhKh. With 7 way action, raising seems automatic, and that is exactly what the BB did.

The flop came 9d5s3s.

Personally, I think this flop is VERY dangerous when there are this many players. On the other hand, the size of the pot justifies stretching more than usual. In this situation, I'm not sure it is even correct to call any bets, but I will probably see the turn if I can do so for 1 bet.

Now suppose the Small blind bets out...

I fold here. The danger of getting in the middle is FAR too great.

Any dissenting opinions, such as a raise?

Getting 15 to 1 the odds just about justify a call if you were closing the action. Since there's 5 others behind us I'd also fold.
