It's bugging me to, and I'm hoping Josh and Marotti don't leave us hanging.

I can see how it could be close given the optimum situations you used, but to say it's worse than the flop call...

That one's the no-brainer....let's discuss the turn call. Please read Bob and I's discussion and also sthief and rmarotti's comments and let's hear your thoughts there.

The flop call is atrocious. Assuming my turn #'s are correct the turn call is basically even EV, where the flop call is EASILY -EV, with only backdoor draws in a tiny pot.

I agree. So why am I being told by two very good players that my turn fold is worse than the flop call....

Always makes me feel like I'm missing something.

I think that they are wrong. There, I said it. I am now out of the nest.

I agree with 7 outs because I'm not that worried about backdoor clubs. It would be nice to know the CO's river aggression, because I think there is a good chance you could check-raise the river and get 2BB from at least one of them, which would push it a little better than even EV. Also, any 8 may give one of them a second-best one card straight, but may also freeze up the betting on the river when the one-card straight comes in.

This is an excellent point that I did not consider. But I guess it also could cause the player with KT to go bonkers.

If that's the case, I've got to say that a 3 bet a worse is a possibility that would probably (at least) cancel out the check/raise benefit.

If your serious, Why?

The flop call was horrid, a fold on the turn is correct.

Turn our hero has at most 8 outs which is 4.75 to 1, and he is getting 4 - 1 on the call.
The hero may even have as little as 6 outs which is 6.6 - 1

How can you call?
