Hi,

This hand I had overpair but there was so many people that have seen the pot and the amount of chips was to small to invest chips in it. Not sure if I fold here

Even though you have an overpair, with so many still to act laying down is probably the best option. Calling is definately not good. I guess you could find a raise but problem is of course is that if SB/BB/UTG has checked the 5 to reraise, you are in trouble.
So all in all nice fold.

I agree, even though this is the type of flop to miss most people, except limped 88 and
things like A5 suited (Ive seen it) I would fold to the raise here and raise first to act for
information. Hmm by first to act I mean checks infront of me.

Depending on the table, I may check behind and then take a stab with a safe Turn.

Hi all,

While folding on the flop is fine, I much prefer calling and reevaluating the turn. Raising makes little/no sense as we are in position and it's a very dry board.
