My point is that what look like 6 outs here are probably only 3.5 on average. With discounting because of the reverse implieds, counting our draw as really a 3 out draw I think is safest. If, say, SB folds, UTG+2 three-bets, MP2 calls, we'd be getting something like 13-1 on our money, and so a call there is negative EV. But, some of the time we'd be getting three-bet, another player will drop or something and we can fold.

FWIW, if we think there's a good chance we're getting 3-bet, I think we should just call.

It's expensive to invest two bets to decide we don't quite have the odds to call one more.

Just because we can fold to a 3-bet (if we can) doesn't mean our outs are worthless.
