Re: Small Stakes Hold\'em p. 141
6 players limp.
A player on your left bets, two call, and another one raises before you. Now you are facing two bets, and likely at least four opponents to the turn. Your only backdoor outs are running threes. You have the odds to draw to a straight, but you don't have the odds to draw to a split pot.
Or maybe the SB bets out (you were in the BB with this hand, right?), and now you have all those players behind you, that might raise, and make your odds worse, and you really don't know what is behind you, but a lot of limping hands have cards in the middle range, where this flop is.
On the other hand, if your hand was AT, then you potentially have a lot more outs, because you might win the hand by catching an Ace, so you would continue playing.
