    your raise was raised and then smooth called so you are unlikely ahead (i.e. it is highly probable that at least one opp has a pp) and your race outs are probably counterfeited some how. So the fold is fine/standard.

    This really is simply a hand where you need to put both opp's on ranges and then just do what pot odds dictate.
