I certainly wouldnt let this go yet. It is unlikely you are looking at a made straight already. SB probably has 86 or something along those lines, whereas the other two may have clubs or a lone 4 or 8. I'd call here and pop a good turn. If a bad card comes and there is a bet and a call I think you are safe folding.

What is a good turn in this situation? Any overcard, club, 8, 9, or 4 is going to be scary. that's like, 30 cards. Also, there are three people behind hero, and hero cannot protect against any draw. I am really not sure what the right play is here, but seeing the turn against 6 people is really dangerous.

Ooo yeah forgot about all those people behind hero. Folding looks much better now.

I also missed all of the people behind. Now I definitely dont think you are crazy since it seems like a raise or fold situation. I really dont like any of my options. I dont like you'd be losing much, if anything by folding here.

I don't think you are nuts, but you have to have enough equity to continue. I think a reasonable chance you are behind a straight/two pair/set now, but most likely not. Bad cards on the turn...3,4,8,9,A, [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], which is like 24 cards or something. I'd at least call and see what comes off on the turn.

I think your somewhat right QTip. This hand is screaming of reverse implied odds.

The pot is big though, I think you could peel this flop and then continue (raise) on a safe turn?
