Hero has $300 to start and hero in the sb w/ two black 10s. Villain 1 is in the cutoff w/ $120 and villain 2 is in the button w/ $300. Villain 1 is a tight player for the most part but he's capable of making moves on occasion and villain 2 has been raising a fair amount pre and seems at least somewhat tagish. UTG raises to $10 pre, both villains call, hero flats w/ 1010 from sb mainly cause that's the first raise UTG has made in an hour. Bb flats as well. Flop comes 932 with two hearts. I check, bb and UTG check then villain 1 bets $25 and villain 2 flats. What do I do?? I'm not really concerned about bb or UTG but am concerned mainly about villain 2 cause of our big stacks. Turn is an offsuit 8. Villain 1 bets $25 and villain 2 raises to $55. Arguments for raising, calling, or folding flop and turn????

What happened on flop with UTG?

I would raise the flop, though, because it would chase away random overcards and allow you to control the pot on the turn.

The way it's written, it looks like you flatted and UTG folded. V1's bet looks like a 9, and V2's raise on the turn could be anything from a monster to an attempt to push everyone off the hand, particularly since V1 pulled the same bet out on the turn. V2 could just be punishing the same bettor with his position (and not very well).

As it stands, you either have to fold or make a crying call because you don't have enough information to really make any reads or know where you are in the hand.

I also just flat preflop.

I find the flop tough. Part of me just wants to lead and see what happens. Another part of me wants to just check and see what happens. I'm not exactly sure how much action I need to see to consider folding. Folding to a LP bet and a call seems a little weak, but it still might be the best play. Honestly, both LP players really shouldn't have 9x hands in their range to a UTG raise. So I think that leads me to a fold on the flop, especially being OOP.

As played, the turn is weird. Pot is $125 and V1 only has $85 left; I'm not sure I understand his $25 bet. But V2 has basically just raised the minimum to get him all-in, my guess with the plan trying not to scare us out of the hand. So I get out now.

I also agree with leading the flop. The check creates too many problems for me.

UTG and bb folded. I ended up erring on the side of caution and just folding the flop. The dealer couldn't believe I folded (I showed him as I folded). I had no redraw and I hate almost any turn plus it was a multiway pot so I folded. If button folded I'd get it in against villain 1 every time
