I'm inclined to bail out, how bout you?

I smell Aces, so fold

[Harkon]

Yeah, it looks pretty bad. You're often dominated, and you're positioned between a limp-capper and 3-bettor, which will make the play after the flop quite tricky if you flop a mediocre-good hand like top pair or straight draw. So I would fold.

[Ampelmann]

Fold, unless you have a read that UTG1 call/caps with trash for fun.

[halpgr]

It looks bad, but you're getting 4.5:1 closing the action to see the flop. For that price you could see a flop and look to flop a monster draw.

The pot is large, your immediate odds are good, and your implied odds are substantial, as the flops that will give you a big draw will also likely give villians sets they will pay you off with. I'll say call and hope to flop a big draw, else fold the flop.

This really depends on my read of UTG+1. If he he's a 40/2/0.5, then yeah I'm folding. If he has some wildness to him then I'm going to call and try to flop big.

It's a close decision either way.

[charlie_t_jr]

If you have the ability to fold the flop if you hit top pair and there's a lot of action...which looks like there will be, grit your teeth and call. Hope to flop big.

If you have trouble getting away from top pair hands, fold preflop.

[FatedEquity]

I tend to fold. Against a raise and a reraise the high card strength of your hand diminishes because the chances you are dominated increases.

Some factors will persuade me to call though. If the raisers are particularly loose, and if they play rather poorly postflop.

three handed with just the King-high i fold this so fast my mouse breaks

In a full ring game, I'm usually bailing out. In a 6-max game, I take a flop but proceed carefully. I can get away from one pair if it's ever two bets to me postflop. However, I might get trapped calling one and one.
