Fold. He's telling us he has us beat. When he called our original bet in a multiway pot we have no reason to not believe him.
I also like raising preflop here to pick up the limpers blinds, AA/KK etc and the sorta hands we stack when we hit a set aren't going to be limping (well not that often at least) so we may as well profit by stealing and c-betting are 44 when it misses.
If we do hit it's gunna be easier to get the money in as we've built the pot up.

@ deco

i didnt raise pf because these guys were limp-calling everything, so i felt call would make more sense

tbh I can kinda understand that, its been an while since I last played 5NL.
Main reason I do it is once in a blue moon I will get folds and I'll certainly get plenty of dead money. If I narrow it down to one person my c-bets should take it down most the time. and perhaps most of all when I hit a set it is much easier to get it in. I hate hitting sets in limped pots as we end up having to 3bet the flop check raise the turn and overbet shove the river to get it in:p (slight exaggeration tbh)
Raising has advantages other than taking the pot down without resistance.

Just let it go. Don't need to win every pot, and this is thin. When we flat, we're basically committing to set mining. The flop was favorable, and I like the bet, but we really wanted to pick it up. When we get a call, and then leading the turn, it's just going to get out of hand if we stick in this hand further.

Our play is fold here almost always. If you really want to continue with this hand, you can raise but it wont fold much
