Default Re: J6o -- turn decision

Hero has a double gutshot with a six-way pot. We can safely assume that your J-high is no good, so you have to improve to win. Also, since another J puts a four-straight on the board, we can fairly safely rule out those three outs. With no real reason to fear the club flush overly, you can call this seven outs. That gives you about a 5.5-to-1 shot at a winning hand. The pot is currently sitting at 4 BBs with four players to act behind you. Nobody liked this hand on the flop; there's no reason to think you're going to get raised behind on this BS turn card. It's true that both of your straights would be one-card straights, but I'm thinking that you've got the pot odds to make a go of it. I certainly wouldn't raise here, though -- you really should welcome the overcalls in this small pot.

Call the turn and hope for your straight. Fold for one on the river unless you get a 7 or T; if you do, raise any bet if the river card is non-club, call otherwise.
