i'm not folding this... but i think you should have played the hand more aggressively.

I think you can make a fine case for folding here, whether or not it is correct. You have 3$ invested and youa re facing a raise and a reraise to 20$ cold. I hate playing for a chop, and while you do have equity vs. a set, its just so easy to be drawing nearly dead and not know it vs. one opponent, and the other having 9 outs to a boat vs. you. Trust me they see the 4 card straight. I'd really be lookin for some reads here before I shoved.

Given all that though, I can see myself easily going broke here.

yeah, going broke is exactly what i did, 68o NH then reload. the way i saw it was that the best hand i was going up against here was 67 w/ a flopped straight slowplayed. but of course i was wrong. i mean how often does villain have this exact hand? i figure that at this level, were splitting the other donk's two pair money etc.

If you had raised the flop, 68o would be making a bigger mistake to call, and you would probably have cleaned up your straight outs and won the pot. Pair+draw is a powerful hand. That said, if 68o cold calls that flop (unlikely IMO), I'm absolutely losing my stack here. That is what buddy lists are for /images/graemlins/smile.gif You can't really complain here because you gave him pretty good odds (and perfect implied odds) to call the small flop bet.

That is an awful reason to call an all-in. You have invested like $3 dollars. If you think you are splitting, get the hell out.
