Shove.

More than likely one of them has the flushdraw. The other probably has something like AK or 99. Hopefully its the shortstack with the made hand, so you'll at least take the sidepot. There's a lot of variance here, but folding seems poor. Get it in and see what comes out the other side.

Wow, that's quite a strange line.

The pot is protected so it really can't be a bluff, but what could it be? Seems like 9's and 7's at least.

I don't know, hard to fold, but it's probably the right move.

Edit: Actually I guess with the pot odds it's probably a push since there's so much money already in the pot. I don't believe we are ahead though.

There's no question that BB has 77 or 99 here but I agree with Kurt, folding just can't be right.

IMO, your fate was sealed here when MP1 raised all-in. You correctly called of course but it also made it impossible to fold to BB's all-in.

No way you can fold here even though you're behind most of the time. I agree that you're committed to shoving.
