I don't like the raise preflop, and I'm not a fan of calling the large reraise.

The flop just brings up a lot of tough questions, but I think this is a fold. We only have 7 outs to the nuts (unless I'm counting wrong) and there are numerous redraws.

I personally think that the raise is ok. Hopefully it will knock some people out, and if it doesn't it hopefully takes many high cards out.

I really don't like the call of the big reraise with two people behind still to act.

Unless you have major tells on each of the people that says they are all donks and none of them have any draws or made hands. Fold.

I'm not totally against the raise preflop, but I prefer limping.

(Odd, cause in holdem I hate open limping in almost every possible scenario)

well since 'we' dont have a fd, and with two behind us...that very well could have a fd...shouldn't that impact our play?

I'm saying fold. Someone with a flush draw is bad for us. We only have 7 safe cards to hit and there are 17 cards that either pair the board or bring the flush. This is an ugly drawing hand, espeially for a pot sized bet..

Deffo fold.

ok, i posted this hand from the villians perspective...

the mp1 player actually was the same guy in the other 400 plo hand i posted who had C/R the pot when i had the gutshot and nfd...

in this hand I was the sb and had AA93 dbl sooted.

I was 4 tabling at this time and thought i had the btn and not the sb...I was really upset when I noticed this after I re-potted PF OOP. I know how ugly repotting is OOP, but once the flop came i felt a little better.

as for results...he actually pushed, and the other two folded. he turned his str8 and i didn't fill up. the river was a diamond though..and i can't believe the other two behind him would fold a flush draw, unless it was a baby flush...

regardless, i thought his play was not nearly as acceptable as mine since he had 2 behind him, not getting the proper pot odds, and didnt have a flush draw or anything.

but i wanted to see what others thought as well.

I am not calling this with a naked flush draw.
