Default Re: How do you play this.

I must disagree severely again with this flop advice for two points;

1. With the set draw, an awful lot of low cards will be out and there's an awful lot of players out there who either could have a straight or redraw to a straight. Remember that you have two live blinds in this hand, and the SB led out into 5 players...

2. Backdoor Straigt draw is one of the weakest order as the high version is a sucker setup. Also, there's the obvious club draw which should be a consideration with all the players.

Even if we gave this hand 3 outs (two 3's, one for the backdoor straight) he needs 14-1 which he clearly isn't getting. Realistically, I estimate this hand to have 1.5 outs. This is a clear, undisputable flop fold. Period.
