<font color="red">MP bets $6.00</font>

Hero???

The fact that he's betting into two players including the preflop reraiser makes this decision fairly easy in my mind but I wanted to check. I feel like I'm seeing KK and AA here a ton as well as a small chance of a boat or quads. But then again he could have 77-JJ as well.

I might be alone with that opinion, but I don't think it's that easy. There are a lot of overpairs he could have lower than yours, and would it be too out of line to bet them? On top of that, wouldn't most people 4bet KK/AA preflop, especially if it's going to be multiway otherwise?
I very well could be wrong here, but I'd assume the hands you beat to be more likely the way this played out than AA/KK, with the exception of 66 - and even in that case I think 66 would go for the checkraise with two more players behind him.

If it's just about MP, I'd probably call here, though I definitely see a point in folding and why it might be the right choice. So the question would be for me, what read/stats do you have on the button?

uhm, don't fold? I can see benefits to both raising and calling. Calling, since its likely you are WA/WB against bettor and you get to see what btn do rather cheap. Raising is sweet, because you'll probably get most action from a lower overpair that way.

I prefer a call, though. Mostly because button is behind you.
