Merge has some of the loosest players I've seen anywhere. This table makeup (3 people with VPIPs of 70+ and a "tight"er player with a VPIP in the 50s) is very, very typical.

Merge - $0.10 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 91.2 BB (VPIP: 53.66, PFR: 9.76, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 41)
BTN: 128.7 BB (VPIP: 73.12, PFR: 35.94, 3Bet Preflop: 8.47, Hands: 348)
SB: 81.1 BB (VPIP: 85.33, PFR: 10.67, 3Bet Preflop: 3.45, Hands: 75)
BB: 59 BB (VPIP: 69.88, PFR: 13.25, 3Bet Preflop: 4.00, Hands: 83)
Hero (UTG): 121.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has A:heart: J:heart: A:diamond: 3:club:

Hero raises to 3.5 BB, fold, BTN calls 3.5 BB, SB calls 3 BB, BB calls 2.5 BB

Flop: (14 BB, 4 players) 9:spade: T:diamond: K:club:
SB bets 14 BB, fold, Hero folds, ...

Anyway, I open with AAJ2ss, and get called in 3 spots. Which is not unusual. The flop comes rainbow without my suit, and puts a straight on board with Q-J. The SB leads out into me. I give up here. I don't like it. But, with so many people seeing the flop, I can't think I am in good shape. Even if I am good right here (which I doubt), I am going to have a hard time getting to showdown while still being good. It feels really 'fit or fold' to just give up, but I think continuing here is suicide. Right?

There are spots to peel this hand, this is not one of those spots
