    Pre you are investing 0.15 to win potentially at least $4, so their stack sizes are big enough. You are closing the action and have relative position on the raiser, which somewhat compensates for being OOP as the turn shows. With 87s, you are going to flop a hand or a good draw a high proportion of the time, so as long as you can play a bit post flop and are not going to stack off on a A84r flop, it seems like a good call to me.

    On the flop, you definitely have 6 clean outs, so you have a 6 - 1 chance of hitting one of them on the turn and are getting 4 - 1 to call. You may have more than 6 outs and with 2 others in the pot you have implied odds, so a call is clearly correct.

    The turn is just about the worst card for you. Now, you could be drawing dead to a flush. If not, you very probably have just 6 outs and maybe none, as now you could hit your straight and lose to KdQx, KxQd. You are getting just 2.5 - 1 with no implied odds. Its a clear fold.

    Well played hand IMO.
