All short stackers so immediately not sure any of them are that great, but still has to be a straight somewhere right?

    I tell myself one of them has the made straight, hit the call button anyway & then shout out "I KNEW IT!" when one of them flips over KT.

    I defo make the call here though. There's plenty of 2p combos out there & also the possibility that they could be drawing. Even if they've got the straight you've got outs.

    Yes, but the question still remains should you consider folding top set v 3 (potential) opponents when
     it is very likely there is a straight out there!

    If for example board was monotone and we saw similar action, should we fold then?

    The thing is though, you're always drawing to the 4th Q, 3 nines, 3 jacks, when the turn card comes you will have 3 more outs (if it wasn't already a Q, 9 or J). All of which make a FH obv so you're never gonna be in the worst shape i the world and 3way you're getting good pot odds

    If it goes 4 way which is likely. We potentially are facing a made straight plus either draws or more likely lower sets or various 2 pairs for other 2 oppos, all of which restricts our outs for the re-draw therfore there has to be an argument to fold?

    fold
     think you got first one beat prob 2 pair trying to protect it with oversized bet 
    second player think prob has str8 as he hasnt tried to price any one else out with 2 players who say they have something still to act behind him

    You cannot fold top set on the flop when both players start the hand with less than 100BB IMO

    u have top set, beating 2 prs + other sets + draws +AA/KK

    one hand beats you

    + u have outs if K10 gets flipped
