IMO , at least one of them has an over pair, or a set already, if so, you are obviously way behind. With that kind of action, its probobly the smartest move to lay it down.

[akishore]

definitely yes.strong fold.aseem

[KDawgCometh]

good fold. No way are they betting that heavy considering your PF cap if they don't have you beat

[Vade]

I just saw the results of this hand on another thread...I still think it's a good fold, because it's capped preflop and you didn't improveQQ needs to improve in capped pots imo

You have to ask yourself this: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?To expand on Clint's musing, let me break this down: Betting capped preflop with three people means that only a few hands are likely still out there: QQ, KK, AA, AK, maybe JJ, 1010, AQs-A10s. You are losing to two of those hands, beating five, and tied with your twin hand. After the bet-raise-raise postflop, you have to narrow this range to AA, KK, QQ, AK (you're on Party...people overvalue AK on Party because it cool or something. I don't quite get it, as I don't run with the 'in' crowd.). If you continue, you have to commit 3 SBs for a guaranteed pot of 22.5 SB (after rake). That's 1:7.5. Do you feel that there's a better than 1:7.5 chance that both of your opponents are raising this flop with AK? Well, do ya, punk?Sucks that the Q spiked after you folded, but that's poker. You wouldn't continue with JJ, 1010, or 99 here, would you?

[Rocketwadster]

Absolutely, positively, have to fold this hand, unless you know the raiser and re-raiser to be savages (ie. if this was a home game I might be inclined to call depending on who was doing all of these raises). Seeing as it is online poker (where great starting hands seem to some up against each other a LOT :!: ), you definately have to fold here. :clap:

Time to upgrade to Pattern Mapper 2.0. Excellent fold.

I just can't bring myself to agree with this statement. People fall in love with hands, and bet them strangely at times. I've seen pre-flop caps with much worse than the starting hands you've listed. Any suited Ace. Small pocket pairs (all the way down to ducks.)I think the most important part of this hand history is the Post-flop betting:Hero bets, UTG+1 raises, MP3 3-betsOut of curiousity, what do people say if this is slightly changed?Scenario 1:Hero bets, UTG+1 raises, MP3 calls?Scenario 2:Hero bets, UTG+1 calls, MP3 raises?Scenario 3:You've been at this table for an hour, and know one of the two raisers (either,) to be extremely Loose-Aggressive?I don't disagree with wtro4556's play at all. Just talking around the hand really

True, I'm not accounting for the maniac Any Ace raisers or the "any two cards can win" types. Still, though, I fold this with two other pre-flop and post-flop cappers. QQ might only be overpaired preflop 1:12 times, but I'd stake my rack on this being one of those times, given the postflop jiggery-pokery.And given the results.

I'm going to have to upgrade my pattern mapper with a new rule, obviously:If you have QQ, someone out there has KK. Sucka.

I'm surprised that BB and MP2 realize they are probably beat on the river...impresive

[Nutcracker]

Ya, there could have easily been 15 more BB in that pot. Though I would have definately been fearing the AKs and KK if it was capped on the turn.
