This one is actually kind of similar to the other hand I posted about bottom set on a very dry board getting multiway action. The twist here is that the BB is a mega-fish and expresses interest in the pot by leading into the pre-flop raiser on the flop. UTG’s range for raising the flop is potentially wide, since he could be semi-bluffing/isolation the fish. Getting cold-called by three other players ought to give him pause, though.
