Crappy pair and straight draw

[Guy McSucker]

Party $5/10.

I have 65o (edited! I said 76o originally, sorry to those who responded before this edit) in the BB. Three limp, SB completes, I check.

Flop: 9 8 6 with a flush draw.

I check, UTG bets, MP calls, SB calls.

I fold. Any comments?

Guy.

I don't like to fold good hands... Why not bet out? Why fold? You probably have 6-10 outs if you are behind and you get 8:1.

Thanks,

Guido

fold? no way

[Guy McSucker]

Oops. My hand was 65o.

I imagine that changes things...

Guy.

[King Yao]

Ah! Now fold is good.

[Guido]

Jep, good fold.

How many outs would you count to make that a fold? With 40$ in the pot you need to have just over 5 outs...if I'm correct.
I would say you have just about that. Counting 1.5-2 for a T, 2 for a 6 and 2 for a 5...

Well, that's why it was a question /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think it looks quite close when you just count outs, but then you realise you're out of position and there are a great many ways people can redraw against you, which makes it a fold in my book.

I wanted to check nobody thought that was horribly weak. After all, with the pair there is a chance I'm ahead too, although in fact AA and KK were both out there...
