I believe the proper shats & giggles play is capping.

i fold for sure here. theres no draws out there so they are betting something. if its a set you are screwed. at best you still have 3 Q outs.

Yah, that. My head is just spinning from trying to figure out what the hell is going on here.

im capping and calling down the turn and river if the villains dont slow down. SB bet his KK, MP1 thinks his AJ is better than the KK, and MP2 likes his A-trash. You said the table was LAGgy and you have top pair.

That would be an unlikely best case scenario...

...but if you switch your reads on MP1 and MP2 you are dead on.

i shouldve added that if the villains do slow down on the big bet streets you should bet. otherwise id still call down.
