Hero???

I feel like when I raise UTG and then bet a rag flop into a field of so many callers, I am screaming big pair. If I get just a call or just a check-raise, I still like my hand. But when I get called then min-check-raised, can I still expect to be good?

(Please don't point out that I am getting 6:1 pot odds, because this is clearly push or fold).

I think I'd end up pushing, feels pretty close though.

limp pre. go for LRR. I do this exclusively for PL. maybe this is just me.

flop, meh. shove or fold, take your pick. maybe bet the flop harder.

i vote fold but people sometimes say I'm weak-tight.

The guy is showing some serious strength min raising with the cold caller in between. If it were heads up I would just push because I think the guy can have a smaller pocket pair or even the flush draw often enough... but with the cold caller I think you can fold there.
