Default Re: My free card play doesn\'t work....and I get a \"free\" card anyway

I would usually fold this in this spot PF. Am I wrong? Your pot odds are decent but your implied odds aren't that great with only three other players in. The ONLY value to your hand is suitedness, it has no connectedness and no high value. Am I wrong? Is this a clear call?

Why not cap the flop for value? You have 9 flush outs + ~2.5 straight outs for the 6 + ~1 outs for the J, giving you 12.5 outs twice, so you are about 46% to hit by the river, more than the 33% you need to cap for value. Plus you have a (slightly) better chance of getting a free turn card. I think not capping here is a mistake.
