Default Re: Whats my action

When you flop overcards and there is a bet in front of you, you look at some second-tier questions to decide whether or not to continue:

1) Do you have ace high?
2) Do you have a backdoor flush draw?
3) Do you have backdoor straight draws?
4) Might your pair cards make someone else a straight?
5) Is there a reasonable chance the flop helped your opponents?
6) Did the bet fold out anyone before you had to act?

Here the answers to questions 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are all unfavorable. Only number 3 is favorable -- and that's not enough reason to continue. It's not really even close. Fold.
