The subject of the post should read is this a good call to a shove. Anyway I was tilting a little. Just lost a lot of chips having my Aces cracked.

1. Question should I even be in the hand.
2. Am I getting the right price to call the all in.

nice flop. any reads on UTG? what about MP1?

personally I would find it hard to call a 5x raise with suited connectors!
its not like your in desperate need of chips at that moment. there are two smaller stacks than yourself. how you play this hand is gonna be determined by how loose UTG is. if you put him on ace rag here, then I'm expecting this isnt so bad, however, the chances of hitting a flop which complements your hand vs a 5x utg raiser is gonna be slim, unless you know he has a history of utg bluffraises.

In this spot I guess you flopped well, and calling MP1 seems fine, but i'd rather not play 67 suited here in the long run. I think the determining factor is reads on the opponents.

This is my point of view, and may or may not be correct. I'd wait on input from someone more qualified to answer, but I hope this makes sense

First of all, you shouldnt be in the hand . preflop, its a fold. you are out of postition, its a big raise and your implied odds a really bad. on the flop, you should donk bet and get it in. as played, you cant fold. you only need about 30% pot equity and you have about 15 outs (some are not clean). so, there is no chance to get away, stick the chips in.
next time, donk shove and maximize your fold equity.
