Contemplated raising but in calling we invite the fish into the pot. A few things to factor in this decision on the flop. UTG might be being extra aggro because of the fish in the hand so may be jamming wider. But we are still multiway and he cbet indicating more strength before he shoved so I think folding is best

Hi legand73

Preflop: Attacking all that money with 3 players left to act can't be a terrible thing. And if UTG calls or shoves you still have an amazing hand (vs him)

Postflop: Let's talk ranges. Clearly UTG is as wide as they come.

How about MP? What do you think he does with a Qx hand? What's the weakest Qx that you see there?

How about heart draws or OESD. What do you think those do?

So really, can you fold TPTK here?

I don't see QT very often here pre. Ahh by calling we don't look that strong and when UTG shoves he can induce wider from MP i suppose. I don't know how great MP would be feeling w/ KQ there considering that we're still in the pot here. QJ is getting it in although I don't see many his range preflop, same w/ KT.

How do you expect those drawy hands to play? I don't expect them to be playing that aggressively on this board in this spot.

I can see both better and worse hands to play like this.

What's better? JJ+
What's worse? AK, KQ, possibly AJ, FDs, and of course the split in AQ.
