crap

mp1 is half retarded- he will almost always raise when bet into. mp2 is fairly solid. i have seen him do a couple stupid things, like capping a flush draw on the flop in a 3-way pot on a paired board. he is better than the average player, but overaggressive in some spots.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP2 raises, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls, MP1 3-bets, MP2 caps, Hero folds, MP1 calls.

gambooooool? i am getting about 5-1, but my implied odds were killed by all this raising preflop. right after i folded, i was fairly certain i made a huge mistake. this is mostly because mp1 might have bet/raised lke an idiot had i flopped my set, and mp2 would have to call down with aa/kk unimproved, because i might be isolating. is my logic here sound? putting in 4 bets with 77 sounds so damn stupid, but i think in this case it is justified.

folding here is a huge error.

you got your thinking all mixed up. your implied odds aren't wrecked because you're paying 4 bets preflop. in the bigger picture of things, yes it is. you are in fact paying 4 bets preflop. but remember, at the moment of your decision on whether to call the last 2 bets, you're not paying 4 bets anymore, you're paying 2. that's a huge huge huge huge difference.

with money already in the pot, it's not as if you're coldcalling 2 bets getting a straight 6-2 call, you're getting 5-1. and with this preflop action and with two aggressive players in the pot who clearly like their hands, your implied odds are better not worse when you flop a set.

Yeah, CDC covered this perfectly. Folding here is not good, unless your name begins with amu and ends with let.
