I would have reraised MP2's flop raise. I think we're quite likely to be ahead and I think you need to make these players pay to draw out on you.

I don't really like the idea of checking the turn card here.

reraise the flop, board is drawy and you could easily give away a free card on the turn, plus a reraise could get UTG2 out the picture

I agree with allday and Alex: reraise the flop.

You could knock out the MP guy, but if not, you're really pushing your equity when you stand to be far ahead.

If capped, I call and reevaluate the turn card.

Getting it capped would suck, since I think you're probably behind at that point, but since he's on the overaggro side, I think I'd look him up (assuming MP2 doesn't wake up.)

Reraise the flop.

Punish UTG+2 and MP if they're on [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s or KJ or QJ or something goofy and out of line. If MP PFR's 12%, it's likely he's on one of these hands. Also, to me, getting rid of UTG+2 would be a big priority.

MP's reaction of cap or call is valuable; if he has AT or AJ or KQ, he's capping here (or raising the turn). This is information I would want in this hand. 2.9 is very aggro, but even he'll slow down with AK or AQ or worse.

I dunno, reraisng the flop just builds a huge pot while we're OOP with a vulnerable hand giving reverse implied odds. I like calling, then sometimes donking and sometimes checkraising the turn if it's to my liking.

i reraise the flop as well.

as played you REALLY need to checkraise the turn.
