Raise the flop and see where you're at, you're only behind to AQ, 44 and Q4 so theres a good chance you'll take the pot down here. If MP2 and MP3 want to pay for any draws then so be it.
Strange betting sequence though with MP2 not continuing his raise but coming strong later on. AhK or AhJ maybe. Would love to know what MP3 thought he was doing as well

I'm not a huge fan of how you played this hand. :?

Preflop
Easy fold. KQ is junk and you're often dominated when you call a raise. Did you have a read on the raiser as making extremely loose preflop raises?

Flop
I can't belive you flat called a half potbet here when there's a flush draw out :o I'd raise the pot every time. I really think you made a big mistake here.

Turn/River
The hands that make most sense for MP2 to have are AA, KK and AK. AK makes the emost sense. He checked a missed flop but the bet was too small to force him out and he picked up the A high flush draw on the turn. He would probably have played AA or KK a bit more aggressive so my read is [Ah] [Kc].

let me be the first to say (edit: second)...don't ever call a raise w/ KQ. :oops:

raise the flop. i think you're safe from a flush hitting on the turn. MP2 would have to have [Ah][Jh] and i figure MP3 for like TT, so drop the hammer on the turn for full pot. river...i think you can fold. i don't see him betting a [Jh] into two ppl.

if i had to guess, i would say MP2 had AA w/ the [Ah]
