What's this guy betting with that I can beat? Easy fold, or do I call with 3:1 pot odds?

You got yourself in a real mess by not reraising preflop. You have position on everyone in the hand, so you need to take advantage of it preflop and RRd it up. I would have RR to about $1.80. That should thin the field real fast and makes playing this hand alot easier.

Im probably check folding on any street to a decent sized bet. BB reraising after 3 people calling shows alot of strength. I wish he had bet this flop as it'd be alot easier to you to get away from it.

As played though: You need to bet more on the flop, even though a larger bet is pretty much committing you to the pot, so you need to decide right here wether you want to play for stacks with your overpair or try to get to showdown as cheaply as possible. On the river Im most likely calling. You're getting such a good price to call, but I wouldn't be surprised if you are beat.

Yeah that is a big ole preflop mess but I am not sure that it is your fault.

You can make a case for reraising pf, but truth be told even with position I probably call and look to get to sd cheaply unless I make the set.

With this crappy flop and the display of weakness I change my thinking and take a stab at the pot. I bet more on flop, about 4 or 5 and then shut down again if I get 2 callers.

I call river, too good a price.
