22SB pot, you've got to call two more . . . so you're getting immediate 11:1 odds. Problem is that while you might be up against QT and 98 and are ahead right now, it's more likely you're up against AT and/or trips, meaning you're shooting at a 2-outer to chop. Or JJ and QQ, looking for a 5-outer to win it.

Without reads, if this is 1/2, I'd average your outs to take the whole pot at no more than 2-3, and that's probably on the generous side. So I'd probably fold it. Without reads, of course.

(Let me guess . . . you were up against QT and 88 or some such nonsense?)

EDIT: Just looked at the preflop action. Obviously, much less likely that BB has a seven, more likely he has JJ-AA. So I'm more likely to peel another one off. By the way, I think that KTo UTG 6-handed is a little too loose, especially in a 1/2 game where you're going to get a bunch of coldcallers behind you. Being out of position when the flop comes JT6 or somesuch sucks some serious ass.

Was against AK and JJ, would've paired my king too on the turn and won, but it would've been a longshot.

KTo is the absolute minimum for a PFR UTG. Unless you are VERY good, leave it [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
