Default Limit 08 hand, flop question

Is this flop worth calling? I had several runner runner draws:

Nut high straight
Nut low / non-nut low
Low straight
Nut Flush

How do you calculate the pot odds for runner runner draws?

Or should I have just tossed the hand on the flop?

rule of thumb I use is to count a backdoor draw to the nuts as 1 out. Any other runner runner, realize they are there but count them as nothing.

On this flop, you may be getting large pot odds, but really the only card you want to see turn is the deuce of spades, which gives you the most outs to see the river. Honestly, fold this on the flop. All those backdoor draws would be nice if you had at least one primary draw somewhere. As you don't they account for maybe 1.5 outs (liberally). Dump it.

I would fold here. If you had a backdoor nut low draw, then I think 15:1 would be enough, but in this particular case I don't think all your weak draws add up to enough to make a call have a positive expectation.

I'd toss it on the flop. I don't count runner-runners as outs at all myself.

Fold. You missed the flop.

Unless you're at my table ... then call those runner-runners all night.

Thanks for the advice, I knew it was borderline at best. Next time it's tossed on the flop.
