i hate plays like this, because you are basically staying in purely due to the size of the pot. in any event, we are playing 20/40 at the bike and the table might as well be an aquarium.
hero is UTG+1 with 6d5d. UTG limps, hero limps, MP1 raises, 5 callers including hero, 6 players see the flop.
flop is TT4 rainbow, no diamond. hero checks, MP1 bets, all 4 others call, so we are getting 17 to 1 on a flop call.
is that good enough for a backdoor straight draw?

Kinda did some quick math, not so sure it's right, but I'm going to say this is going to be a little less breakeven.
You appear to be getting decent odds but then there's likely to be a bet on the turn that you will call when you improve to a straight draw (34% OE or GS), that worsens your pot odds just a bit. Not so sure about how much implied odds of getting paid off on the river affect the situation overall, but since you will so rarely draw fully to your straight, I would guess not very much.
If there was a diamond on the board, or even if you were able to draw to trips/2pair then you might be better off.
If I figure out the proper math before someone else does, I'll post it up.

fold, dude. no sense in chasing a b/d straight on a paired board. even at 30:1, its just putting bad money in the pot. you know me with big pots, and i fold here so fast it would spin your head.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.
Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Fold taht. And IMO, if you were gonna play that hand, you might as well have raised PF to eliminate other players. But that's just me. I either fold or raise PF.

I know this is a little old, but I'm not raising that pre in the environment described, Wiz, and it's a fairly important concept.
You don't want to get 3bet pre and have the rest of the table fold, and find yourself oop with a drawing hand when the alternative is a family pot with a drawing hand.
The latter is so much of a better investment.
