Default Midstage+ with 2x average stack

UTG+1 (t6085)
MP1 (t6950)
MP2 (t5210)
Hero (t11090)
Button (t1805)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A, Q.
UTG raises to t600, 2 folds, MP2 calls t600, Hero calls t600, [3 folds.?? Isolate??

Flop: (t2100) 5, 2, 4 (3 players)

Anyone have a problem with a call here, or would you let the gamble go, even if there is odds to call?

I let the gamble go. Your getting less than 2 to 1 on your money here. If the villian has a pair lower than a queen you have 10 outs with a back door flush as well. Which does not pay 2 to 1. So that covers your odds on your best case scenrio.

If the villian has a big pair AA, KK, QQ which he might from UTG your really in bad shape.

The only other play I see an opponent make here is with A,K and then your drawing really thin. That's not my play but I have seen it done.

As played - easy fold.

I think a re-raise preflop was a better play to at least get heads up with UTG - I even prefer a fold to a call.
UTG raises are all the fashion but with his stacksize he looks committed. Raise to 3000, mp2 folds and u are racing with lots of dead money

getting 2:1 with almost certainly 7 outs this would be close. but since sometimes you have 10 outs, and you are occasionally ahead, and you have a backdoor flush draw, i dont see how you can fold.

That's a call. You're closing the action with a large stack and he's pushing almost whatever the flop.
