LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

Hero (BTN): $37.30
SB: $40.05
BB: $17.40
UTG: $14.85
MP: $13
CO: $25

Pre-Flop: 8 8 dealt to Hero (BTN)
2 folds, CO raises to $1, Hero calls $1, SB raises to $3, BB folds, CO calls $2, Hero calls $2

Flop: ($9.25) 3 5 2 (3 Players)
SB bets $4.75, CO calls $4.75, Hero ????

SB stats - 30/11/5.1 with 1.0 3bet. This is over 309 hands.
CO stats - 19/19/0.4 with no 3bet history. This is over only 34 hands.

I'm really in a bind of what to do here.

Calling - Benifits, action may slow down on turn as it may just be cbet, may be able to take pot away with position. Two callers don't really make this an encouraging option. Almost sure to be an overcard coming.

Folding - An option here. Really the majority of our value preflop came from set mining. We haven't hit and its put us in a marginal situation. A large part of people's ranges here is large pocket pairs crushing mine.

Raising - It gives us an opptunity to win the pot now, and put pressure on the possible cbets and mid pocket pairs which may be in a similar spot to me. If raised again I'm not sure if this is correct as by raising I'd probably make it around $12, which may get me pot committed. Maybe bet fold?


Anyway, I thought it would be a marginal spot that I took a bit of time to think about, I'm intrested in what general opinions are, and perhaps if you can think of it this way, what the 'correct' move is.

Cheers.

Just fold. Preflop I setmine as well but I think you have to stick with it and just fold the flop.

Looks like easy fold because it's just too likely that at least 1 of them has bigger overpair. Would be much tougher spot if you had only 1 opponent.
