Still playing .50/1 to clear Party Poker bonus when this hand comes up. All other players are your typical PP LP/P's.

I can't imagine overcalling here.

Exactly, you may have a question on your hands if there was just a bet.

Fold. I can't see how you can bet this river for value with 3 people behind you. If you are going to overcall, you should probably have bet though (you have an easy fold should someone raise). This seems like a standard laydown, no?

At first glance, a fold would seem obvious. However, could I be ahead 1 out of 14 times here to make it a profitable call? Remember, this is .50/1 PP we're taking here.

Good odds, but you have to beat two people to win and do it 1/14 times for profitability. Does that happen enough?

If there was only one other opponent do you guys think this would be a check/call or bet/fold to a raise situation?

My feeling is that against one person you will lose most of the time but will be good often enough to go to showdown.

The fact that it is .50/1 PP makes it even less a chance you're beat. These are passive players.

I called the bet. UTG had A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and UTG+1 had 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
