With sb leading out into 7 people, a call in front of us and 4 people left to act its fine to fold here.

I often limp/rr from UTG, particularly with big pairs, and I find it to be very much +EV. If I had opened for $40 or $50 and got several callers, I'm probably not winning this hand. Its a very wet, connected flop and I'm OOP. By limp/rr, I can usually thin the field, and vs one caller, I like my chances.

That said, when no one obliges with a pf raise, I can get away from the hand if need be. And in the OP's scenario, folding on the flop is not a bad play, but I'm also ok with a call here, snap-folding to any reraise.

lol that so many people seem happy to give definative advice without knowing how many people are in the pot.

I'm guessing that there are 8 people in the pot or possibly 9 and rake is calculated into the pot size already otf?
