Weak draw on the flow, big pot...

[meep_42]

6/12 game, kill pot - so we're playing 12/24 this hand.
Hero is the killer and on the button, posting a kill blind.

EMP (pretty solid, somewhat overaggressive post-flop) open raises, Hijack coldcalls, SB (somewhat loose, somewhat passive) calls, BB calls, Hero looks at 86o and calls.
(Anyone a read is not provided for is pretty much a typical player at this level, which is to say that they're only slightly more aggressive than a live 3/6 player.)

5 to the flop for 10SB.

SB checks, BB bets, EMP calls, Hijack calls, Hero...

What's the appropriate turn action, why, and how close is it?

The appropriate flop action is to fold, making for no turn action. I don't think it's all that close.

You have a gutshot to the bottom end of a straight that ends in broadway, which alone is a pretty sure recipe for disaster when you're talking about a 5-handed pot. One of your outs could be dirty with two diamonds flopping. Even if you catch your perfect 7, it's entirely possible that you're up against a flopped K high straight, or that someone could redraw on you with an 8, J, Q, or diamond on the river (to say nothing of a possible FH).

The Good: You're geting 13:1 or even better and I'm sure theres a mountain of chips in the middle if you're using 2 dollar chips.

The Bad: Your gutshot outs are durrrrtay. Sucks to make your hand and lose to a better one. Sucks even more when you make your straight, but theres 3 diamonds on board, and the action goes bet, Hero raises, 3-bet, 4-bet, Hero...

So fold. Even with the assload of sexy chips in the middle of the table.

The fact that when you hit this you are probably still dodging a ton of cards makes this a pretty clear fold in my opinion.
