This hand makes me die a little inside. Wondering if you can call turn is the least of your worries.

Why don't people want to win lots with their big hands against bad players?
Stop min-raising ever and make some real bets and raises.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Guess this can go to the bin.
Btw, Birdman, if you don't want to discuss the problems with the hand, then why would you have posted it? I can only assume a few of these responses made you regret posting the hand, and therefore you removed it. Regardless of whether we were going to "flame" the play, there is still stuff to learn from it.
I know my post sounded like I was just being an ass, and I partly was. But in all honesty, the decision to whether to call the turn or not was probably would not have been the biggest decision in the hand. The bet/raise sizing was so far on the small side that you are giving the multiple villains amazing odds to draw out on you. I can understand your logic of "not wanting to scare them out of the pot", but if they don't have anything, they probably still aren't going to call, no matter how small the betsizing is. And when they do have something, you are pwning yourself by not building a larger pot when ahead of the hands they want to continue with.
