    Default flopped straight on a monotone board, lots of action

    no reads on sb or UTG, UTG+1 seems solid.
    What is your play here? If you raise, how much? And would you fold to a push?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB (t1460)
    UTG (t475)
    UTG+1 (t3170)
    MP1 (t1265)
    MP2 (t1600)
    Hero (t2070)
    CO (t1045)
    Button (t460)
    SB (t1955)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 9, 8.
    UTG calls t30, UTG+1 calls t30, 1 fold, MP2 calls t30, Hero calls t30, 2 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: (t180) 6, T, 7 (6 players)
    SB bets t90, BB folds, UTG calls t90, UTG+1 raises to t300, MP2 folds, Hero ???

    Fold preflop. If I had 98s on the button with that kind of limping in front I would limp also but I fold this.

    As played, I push the flop. At low buyins this could be anything from an A to AT to two pair or even a set, all of which you are ahead of. Sure, someboody could have flopped the flush but the chance of them doing that is about 0.8% so if they have that I pay them.

    A couple of things suck though:
    - UTG+1 is the big stack
    - You have no redraws in case one of them either did flop the flush or hits on the turn with one .

    With that kind of action, I think there is a pretty good chance someone flopped a flush.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    I don't disagree, what is the best line here then?

    yea I was pretty stumped here. I raised to 840, this left me 1200 still at the 15/30 level so I could maybe find a fold if UTG+1 pushed.

    What do you think?
