Default Re: How would you play this hand with so many dangers?

On the turn, your overcard outs are certainly not good. Hitting a Q on the river would be really sweet, as it puts a 1 card straight on board, but you'd have a 2 card straight that beats it.

So, take your 8 outs, discount them as the flush ones may be bad, and hitting a 7 may sometimes result in a split or a loss (if someone has QJ).

Now calculate the price/odds you are getting to see the river. I'd estimate that the turn's going to be capped 50% of the time or so, which will hurt your odds as you'll be putting in 3 more bets (the pot will be slightly larger, but your odds will still be worse.)

Now tell us, was your turn fold OK?
