Default Table gave me a free card and 8 more outs. Still, worth the call?

Paradise Poker 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (7 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, CO checks.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(7 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero ?

Recently, I've _really_ been trying to focus on when to fold. I've been having a lot of trouble converting # of outs to pot odds calculations. I'm thinking here that perhaps it's worth a call? Also, I lost a link to a GREAT odds page, where odds to make a hand by the turn/river was presented nicely, so i can't access it on the fly. But anyway, getting back to this hand, i'm here with 44, the table grants me the free card, and my 2 outs (4s) gets balloned to 10, 8s, 3s, the last 2 fours, even though the 8s might be tainted since then a 9 will make a higher straight. The table was pretty loose, and rarely aggressive, so I was expecting most of the table to call behind me. Still, at the heart of it, at the turn, there's only 3.5BB, and I'm out of position. Call or fold?

Fold unless 100% of gutshots will drop + 0% chance of having it raised behind. SB is betting into 7 players, so you are behind and may not even have the best draw. The pot is tiny, your outs are tainted by made straights + bigger straights that may fall + clubs + high chance of splitting the pot, and you may have to pay 2+ bets to see the turn.

(edit) PS if you must continue, raise

Very weak hand, you ARE beat, which means you are drawing to a weak 4 outer. If you think it's a bluff, raise to isolate him. Well, you'd raise to isolate him if you had better position.

It's not a 2-outer. He's got the low end of the OESD + his 2 outs for the set (which, since they complete a SD, are certainly not clean).

I think a fold is ok here, though, since the only card you're really happy with is a 3.

Yeah, those two outs don't even count, I didn't even look at the board carefully because it was so "obvious" to me

I rate the hand at about 4.5 outs.

3's: 4 outs minus [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] minus chance of split pot = 3
4's: 2 outs minus large chance of making a str8 = 0.5
8's: 4 outs minus [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] minus chance of losing the whole pot = 1

Fold, pot is small. You really only have 3 outs to a non-club 3. Any 4 gives an 8 a straight or a flush with the 4c. Any 8 gives someone with a 9 a better straight or a flush.

WTF? You said he had 2 outs. He has 4 3's. I was just pointing out that you said he had 2 outs, which is wrong. I still agree that he should fold, but knowing the facts before advocating a line is a good idea. If it was a typo, that's fine. No biggie. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was rolling eyes at myself (Used to other forum with rolleyes icon, excuse me). I didn't observe the situation carefully. I'm the idiot here, I thought my previous post made it clear.
