Hero?

I liek the flop lead but why so little?

I think this is a shove. You check because you expect someone to bet. Someone bets. Someone else makes a stack committing raise. Someone else think's he's probably got the best hand. Someone else's range is a little behind yours. Calling is bad. People call you light so shove. Folding might be an option but with so many fours and draws in MP3's range, I don't think you can pursue it.
