Usually in the early levels I'm not willing to go broke with this hand. It's a tough spot to be sure. After that flop, there are two ways that I would proceed. I would either bet about 750 into the pot (this is a good bet as they can't tell whether you're weak or if you're trying to milk them) or I would check and fold. If you get called or raised if you bet then you're done with the hand.

As played, with two players against you and one betting 900 and the other calling, likely that one or both has an Ace. The only scenario where you are ahead is if the guy who betis trying to buy it and the caller is on a draw.

But it's early, you still have pleanty of chips and to get bluffed out is not the worst thing in the World.

I'd fold. With two players still in the pot, you have to assume that one of them has just caught an Ace. A difficult one to fold but I think at this juncture, it's the only move to make.

lol @ the guy with 4's. Yeah, against two opponents that's a tough spot to be in on a bloated pot. I have no issue with the fold

A little late here but with the action in front of you this was an easy fold for you. Toro summed it up well.
