Average game, average players,low limit because it shouldn't happen at mid or high limit.
This is is just a general question, apply any hand and board you like that fits the idea. You are in a hand with say X other players for 1 BB each preflop. You may be in the BB or may not have made a good preflop call.
Flop comes nothing special, and it's checked to you and your hand is good enough for a check but not to bet or raise. Checked around to the turn.
Turn comes and there is a bet. Play gets to you and you don't have proper odds. You do have a mediocre hand. You will have odds on the river to make a crying call and your hand could improve, but it's slim.
So here's the crux, you don't have the odds on the turn, but you can make a proper odds crying call on the river with a hand that isn't a winner very frequently.
Do you fold on the turn, or hang around and make that crying call with a mediocre hand? What is your opinion and why?
