    MP2 ($2.85)
    MP3 ($38.30)
    Hero (CO) ($19.40)
    Button ($3.90)
    SB ($7.40)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with ,
    2 folds, UTG+2 raises to $0.40, MP2 raises to $0.80, MP3 calls $0.80, Hero calls $0.80, 2 folds, BB calls $0.60, UTG+2 raises to $1.20, MP2 calls $0.40, MP3 calls $0.40, Hero calls $0.40, BB calls $0.40

    you also had a backdoor straight draw,

    If this was limit I'd be a peeling machine... this is not limit.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Let's say you call and the big blind calls and there's 13 something in the pot and you turn the 10 of spades. What do you do if the big blind leads something like $8 (unlikely but possible).

    One of the things I'm slowly learning as a NLHE player is that mistakes compound themselves. Mistakes on one street frequently lead to bigger mistakes on later streets. Mistakes lead to difficult decisions.

    fold preflop, especially with that kind of action

    i fold AJ unless i'm opening with it
