Marginal Hand #3 Bad call here?
 

In this hand I think most people see the flop but maybe I'm wrong--we'll see. It gets a little dicey after that. Same as before. What would you do and why?

No reads on anyone here so assume an average Party table.

I think this call is better than your last one. As long as I'm in the business of feeling dirty but making more money, I think this is a call.

Re: Marginal Hand #3 Bad call here?
 

getting ~6:1, I think it's close.

I think I would want more limper to play that hand OOP. I think a lot of people will tell you it's a call, however.

Re: Marginal Hand #3 Bad call here?
 

This is a really easy call if BB is loose, and a relatively easy call otherwise. 6:1 is plenty for me to call here.

5-1 to call is cutting it close, but I think you can call this here. I suppose the flop tells all...

It's not 5:1. It's 9.5:1.5 if BB doesn't call and 10.5:1.5 if he does (the other donks aren't folding here often enough for it to be much of a consideration, though a slight discount for the 1-3% of LRR's you see is worthwhile).

I fold here but I've been told my VP$IP is too low.

The reason I fold is because I really don't want to play 10-8 soooted out of position especially when it's been raised pre-flop.

If there's no raise, I will always complete from the SB with at least one limper. If it's folded to me in the SB, I fold and unckeck the "Auto-Post Blinds" button and leave after the next orbit.

Obviously I called preflop or this would be pretty boring. Here's the flop.

Calls.

13:1 on a gutshot + BDFD = good enough.

Edited for typo.

Re: Marginal Hand #3 Bad call here? (flop)
 

If I accidentally called pre-flop I'd have to call here too getting 13-1.
