I don't understand why you're even asking this question.

MP1's bet is weak - raise it and fold to ANY further action unless you fill up before you have to put more chips in the pot...

You posted 5 hands this morning and at best 2 of them are worthy of a thread. This is a standard fold.

Very early in the tournament and you're most likely behind. When a player re-raises PF, has two players involved on the flop and decides to push AI for over 3 times the pot size, I tend not to call him with an under pair.

preflop ok. fold the flop. you were hoping to hit a set and you didnt let it go. mp1 bets out...now your sandwiched and the button has shown some strength. especially the mini raise preflop...suspicious. fold fold fold.

raise? dont you think the mini raise by button preflop is a little suspicious. true mp1 is a defensive bet but why risk the extra chips on a small pot with someone left to act who as already shown some strength.

People who take this pverpair too far on this flop and action from 2 people in front of them will either win a small pot or lose their stack. The ONLY reason I MAY flat-call this lead is if I'm holding one of (77,88,78) and I'm HOPING that the button will raise, or at least try to chase a straight or something. And even with these hands I may raise.
