... do I have the pot odds to call the turn and see the river?
.5/1 at Paradise. I'm UTG with 99 and limp in. We're eight-handed, and only one folds. Seven to the flop.

Talk about your good news-bad news scenarios. It's checked to me, and I figure if someone flopped a straight, I'll hear about it. I also want to make draws pay, of which I'm dead balls-on certain are out there.
I bet, and get four callers (SB folds). Five to the turn.
TURN: J /forums/images/icons/diamond.gif
Ahhhhh crap. I have no doubt I'm behind. BB bets, and I have a decision to make. I'm certain a raise is coming, and maybe two. Currently, there's $7 in the pot, a number that's certain to rise. I'm 4.6-1 to improve to a boat or quads on the river. I'm still trying to get this pot odds thing down, but I call here, don't I? Is it a no-brainer or a think-about-it decision?
I call, it's raised by a player in MP, and called by three others, including myself. There's $14 in the pot. Smart play?
