Final Pot: 11.95 BB

villians were both unknown at that point. the pot is too big to fold for 1 bet on the flop but facing a raise and a 3bet (and a likely cap) and considering the preflop action i had to assume that at least another A2 is out there so i fold. opinions?

Three 7s and three 3s give you a str8 &amp; nut low.
Three 5s and three 8s give you nut low.

One of the villains likely has AA. The other 1 either has the final ace, a broadway or at least wrap type hand, or is anxious to lose all of his chips so he can go surf porn.

What I mean to say is that there are not many hands that these 2 guys held preflop that got way ahead of yours with the flop that came. The betting that ensued generally indicates at least one of them is a donk trying to force someone out so that they can escape with half of the pot.

Noting the Button chipstack during the flop action, there is no possible way I fold on the flop.

As the hand turned out, great play.

I look forward to seeing what they actually had.

Preflop looks fine

Flop: you have decent draws to nut high and low and the pot is short-handed so there's less of a chance you'll chop

4 3's give you the wheel and a 6-high straight
3 5's, 4 7's, and 4 8's give you nut low
a 2 gives you the 2nd nut low and a possible winner

Then you have ways to make a straight
(4 3's, 4 7's)
Although another A2 has to be out there, the pot is large and Button is possibly weaker than advertised due to his short stack.

So I'd see the turn especially since button is near all-in and won't be able to charge you 2 bets to see the river.
