Do I lay it down after MP2 raises BB's turn bet? I'd hate to lay down the best hand

I just read that if you don't lay down the best hand sometimes, you are calling way too loosely post-flop.

I don't worry so much about the moran who overplays his hands, although you have to consider he also might have hit two pair on the flop, as he limps ATC. Then you have 3 more outs when the board pairs (missing him)... I just call the 3bet.

Lately I respect donk bets more, many people are not aware of the benefits of checkraising. I used to auto-raise donks, but this lead to serious spewage. BB firing into the field looks exactly like 99 to me, maybe he holds J9, maybe he slowplayed something from the flop. Two of those weirdos in front of me is too much, I fold. Note also that you are not closing the action, and BB still can pop it.
