Posting this for a friend. My particular feeling is I don't like the fold here. No particular reads.

I don't 3-bet the flop with 4 players in. Your offsuited and in the small blind. Had this been suited then without a doubt raise.

This hand domerocks me...

It's hard to disagree with folding the turn (except that the pot is massive) - seeing as UTG+2 suddenly wakes up and MP3 shows he doesn't care (looks like we're drawing dead to UTG+2's flush and that MP3 has A K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I'm interested in seeing more on this hand.

I'm not sure about the 3 bet preflop with AQo. But OK. Why not go for the stop and go on the turn? Bet right out and see how they react.

Agree with general sentiment on PF, flop looks g00t (nice hand protection), but that's not your question.

I like the fold. The pot is big, but your "friend" is not closing the action, and UTG+2 hit something better than top pair on the turn (probably flush), so good chance for a 3-bet, and another 2BB on the River to see showdown.

MP3 is the interesting player here. He is not afraid of the A on the flop. What does that tell us about his hand? Either he is maniac, an ABC player with AA/AK, or a thinking player pumping his flush draw. Would the thinking player cap PF with non-Ace suited diamonds (KdQd)? The turn raise is curious, in the face of the possible flush.

Either way, UTG+2 made his flush, set, or at least spiked 2 pair on the turn, so that pushes me to the fold camp.

I don't like the PF, but that's personal opinion and very dependant on the read.

I think the fold is good. I don't think any of these guys have the flush, meaning the top cards like K, Q, maybe a lower value flush, the way they bet after he folded.
