Default Good News: Flop two pair...

Bad News: Three suited. You have exactly zero cards of that suit.

What to do?

Paradise Poker 0.02/0.04 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls.

Should I have folded? I could not resist the pot odds.

Flop: (12.50 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls.

Turn: (9.25 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Called because I have four outs to a full boat.

River: (13.25 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, all-in ($0.02)Hero calls, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 14.75 BB

Anyone fold the river here?

Fold the river. 3 other players and you're banking that none of them have a single heart between them yet called all this way. Very, very unlikely.

Otherwise I play it the same. Preflop is easy call getting 11.5 to 1. And on the turn, you have the odds to call.

Your pre-flop call is fine -- SSH recommends playing suited or paired LP hands from the BB versus a raise with plenty of callers.

The river is a tough call. I'm betting there's a heart out there, but you're getting about 28:1 on your call. I think your hand might be good 3% of the time.

Played good, good turn call getting 11.25 : 1 (if I counted that right). I'd fold the river as its very unlikely neither of them have a heart but as was said you could be good 3% of the time.

There are 13.25BB in on the river, MP1 goes all in for .02, which is 1/2BB, making it now 13.75BB. Hero has to pay 1/2 BB to call, which is 0.5:13.75 or 1:27.5. I rounded it up, particuarly since UTG is probably calling this as well.

I would not call the river in this situation.
