I hate the preflop result but I'm assuming we didn't expect that. This actually happens so much at my table that I actually think overlimping in this spot is now fine (whereas before I did think it was an auto-raise).
If everyone is at $120 effective, we could just ship the flop and live with results. If anyone else is at $300 obviously we can't do that. Just a really awkward spot against other bigger stacks thanks to small SPR of 5 (stacks can go in easily) and a drawy board. We're kinda towing this really difficult line of not allowing draws decent odds in a big pot where we're committed against some stacks but not others, and yet at the same time not looking to get committed if we don't feel committed. So I guess I'm cool with the inbetween bet just to see who does what. 3 callers!?!? Lol.
And now in spite of attempting all this we somehow still end up with just over a PSB shove for the turn, lol. I dunno, no draws got there so I guess I'm fine with the bet, although it gives ok odds, but anything more we're kinda leaving too little left (can we actually fold at any point if we stick in much more?).
As played, I guess I fold because it's unlikely the check/raiser is getting out-of-line in a mostly protected pot. It's a strange line, as you'd think monsters on this super wet flop would check/raise the flop, and it's highly unlikely the turn improved him. But check/raises on the turn are just always beating TP in a protected pot. Honestly looks like an overpair to me (flat preflop to see if an overcard comes, flat flop to see if draw completes, then stick it in).
If we folded we probably did about the best we could in a stupid spot, imo.
