Preflop: Hero is CO with A♥: T♦:
2 folds, MP2 raises to 125, MP3 calls 125, 4 folds

Flop: (373) T♠: 8♦: K♥: (2 players)
MP2 bets 127, MP3 calls 127

Turn: (627) J♣: (2 players)
MP2 checks, MP3 checks

River: (627) 5♥: (2 players)

Spoiler

627 pot
Final Board: T♠: 8♦: K♥: J♣: 5♥:
MP2 showed 6♥: 6♦: and lost (-258 net)
MP3 showed Q♥: T♣: and won 627 (369 net)

My question is simple here, what is the best play here preflop?
I have folded my ATo but I feel like that was a mistake. Initial raiser is very active player, the one who flats has 41/8 vpip/pfr.

Cheers,

It depends n the villains. If the orginal raiser is tight a fold is fine for sure. If I would play this hand I would 3bet this. It's a hand that isn't playing that well post-flop, you could win sometimes right away if you 3bet bluff and you could isolate the MP3 that is most likely a weaker player.

Yeah I would choose between fold and 3bet also. Its one of those spots where you can use hand as 3bet bluff versus open raiser (if reggy type) and as value versus fishy caller.
