Re: Bad call?

Wow SB is calling a raise with 56o in the worst position?

yes, and sadly he does the often.
Overall, I've determined that this was not a good call.

Re: Live game hand

did you make this hand up? because the 7s is both in your pocket and also on the flop.

ah! that makes a big difference. It was Q6s, not Q7s.

Re: Bad call?

Easy fold.
Also, I think you should have raised more on the flop after the small stack moves in. SB is already in for $5, and it would be hard to get him to fold for another $5. I'd...

Re: Any way to get away from this?
Don't know what I'd do here. I'd probably move-in every time at this limit, some people will call you with Ax and you'll get paid off.
But it's also a small "nothing" pot, so I might be hesitant...

Re: Trouble with draws
The reason you'd go all in on a draw like this is:
a) the option that they'll fold, and
b) if they don't fold, you still have an open ended straight draw and a flush draw, with a chance to backdoor...

I used to win money about one out of every three or four games, however over the summer I have improved a lot, so I think probably $200-$250 will be good to start with.
