Not close, fold.

[Barry]

Muck them at the speed of light.

At best you have 3 outs, and are probably drawing dead except to a runner/runner boat.

[BigEndian]

Surely it's not that bleak Barry.

[Barry]

OK, maybe not, but still not a very good position to be in.

[Bob T.]

Folds. Not close, too many players, some of your outs might be suspect, and you might be charged even more to see just the turn, completely crippling your implied odds on a hand that you won't be able to play aggressively if you make it.

Well poop, I was hoping someone would see something. I mucked with no regrets, but there looks to be implied odds gallore stacking up. I thought there might be a brave soul who would call here.

Implied odds on a hand you have to cold-call? Not to mention if you hit your hand, would receive no action unless you were up against a hand which is better than yours. Fold that refuse.

uh, fold? Is worse than bottom pair, the ass end of a straight draw, and a 7 high backdoor flush draw worth 2 bets in a nothing pot? I fold.
