Is calling a bet in a 12 bet pot with only a gutshot draw a bad idea?
Just because something doesn't work the majority of the time doesn't mean it's a bad play.
Look at it this way: you're not folding the turn, so you're putting in one bet here no matter what. What's bad about investing a little bit more in hopes of inducing a fold, especially when you'll get that bet back 1/3 of the time after you make your draw?
In my experience, you're much more likely to get a fold with a check/raise than by leading the turn.
