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.

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.
