I think you can lay this down and not feel bad about it. I think thats the right play
I agree with this.
It's usually easier to dump the hand on a board like QT9 or something like that, but this board isn't any friendlier.
With the stack sizes, you know that you're going to have to beat 2 opponents in a showdown. Since they called the reraise preflop, you're probably going to go ahead and eliminate the 2-pair hands that beat you. So, now you're left with 2 people who want to get all of their money in on this flop. What are their most likely hands?
Well, there's always the possibility of a lesser overpair, like JJ or QQ. A set is a very likely holding, as is a flush draw since you don't have the Ah.
I think you just quietly slide your hand into the muck, pretending like it was AKo or something and hope that you get to see how the hand plays out.
If the stack sizes were bigger and it wasn't clear that you'd have to win a 3-way showdown, I might change my opinion of this. Like, the first player might have just been taking a stab at the pot if he had more chips and I'd be more inclined to play. I think by the action here, it's pretty clear that you're already beaten. If you're wrong and you are ahead, you're probably gonna have to dodge a crapload of cards to have your hand hold up.
