HERO????

Just fold for the extra $250? MP1 is deep so this could get ugly if the board pairs on the river.

not if it's the 5 that pairs. but you don't have the odds to draw to it.

So you just fold? The pot is about $2200 right now.

Lead the flop. Then the hand plays it self.

I know. I was going for a fatty checkraise convinced this flop would get bet.

This is just the perfect flop to bet a set on. With all the callers between you and the raiser.
As it is now, isnt it possible that they have aces up?

Need more info on UTG, but I'm not sure this is a fold.

I hate raising. What do you do? What do you do on a brick river? What about an 8? or an A?

To construct a scenario where you're ahead requires some creativity. UTG is a short stack so assume he is a retard with like AQ, MP1 is a concerned 78, and MP2 has AK. Folding would suck; I guess if you figure you're probably ahead now all you need to do is watch out for 7s and 8s on the river and maybe 9s and 4s and aces are iffy too. If you happen to be ahead.
