I have K5o, a terrible hand. But I have 150 in the pot (i am small blind).

There are 2 callers so that this point there are 3x300 + 1x150 in the pot.

Do I call? I did. Had to let go on the flop.

What would you do?

BTW table is only 6 handed

Depends on your stack, opponents stacks, opponents play style yadda yadda.

I can't do anything with these patches of information.

If it's a significant portion of your stack, no.

Could you give us more info as to your situation at the table?

If everyone has limped limp and PRAY for no raise from the BB.If there's only 1 or two people in before you fold.Save the money for a better hand.

Assuming this is a tourney. If not, it is always a fold. You only make this call if so short stacked that that 150 is a significant portion of your chips. Realize that this is really a bad hand you are playing ... I don't think I would make this call unless my stack was under about 250 after posting the SB. If that was the case, go all-in. If you have a bigger stack than that, remember that you will have 4 hands before being the big blind again, and you will probably get a better hand than K5o in 4 hands.
