i think we're behind here. I don't think he would limp an overpair to that board from the button. i think he would limp 88 maybe 99 but also 67, 910, or 8 10 and with the resistance we are seeing i think that would be what we are likely to see. Its possible we see top pair but i think the other options are more likely so i think fold.

Your first mistake was completing the limp from the SB. Fold pre-flop.
Now you are stuck with hitting bottom two pair on the flop.

I think you are waaaaayyy behind here.

When your flop bet is raised in a 4 way pot you can generally assume you are up against a big hand. If villain has shown no signs of being extremely aggressive or maniac like I think we are behind here a lot. Even though the flop raise is only min we really need to decide at this point whether we want to get stacks in, not after another raise.

Thanks everyone. I have a very big problem not believing people flop the nuts...obviously my biggest leak. I figured that my 3-bet would be a way to prove to myself that I was second best. I did end up laying it down, not that the results are the point...

Is completing the limp really that bad? I just saw I could take a stab at the .07 in the pot for just .01 I realize I don't have a good hand, but thought that with that many callers I would take a shot.
