What's UTG like? I hope you had a reason for calling preflop.

But anyways, the guy you're playing is bad and as played I'd raise because he can call with a lot of worse stuff.

Since when is calling a middle/good SC IP in a multiway pot bad?

@OP
The MP2s bet size is pretty indicative of a hand that does not want to see another heart peel off which makes your range for him relatively solid. Reads on UTG are pretty important here because if he is the type to c/r FDs then this is a terrible spot for you. If he is the type of player who fit or folds hands like AQo on these kinds of boards then it's a little easier to play. One thing to remember is that vs the sets your 8/9 outs are no good and he also has a decent redraw if you bink the flush. So in short, if he only has sets then it's a fold. If he has OP is he ever folding? If the answer is yes then I think raising is probably better but if he is never folding then I think you have to call based on what daviddem mentioned in his post.

Then again, you also need to think about whether he will pay you off if you hit a heart. Given that it's 5NL I think you'll probably get enough off of him to make calling alright.

Here's a sort of similar spot (at least before all the raising) that I encountered last month and had some interesting discussion to read.

Never said it was bad. I asked him a question. But, yeah there are def. spots where it's bad.
