EDIT: woops, I guess that was clear from the OP. Pays seven places, decent money starts at 5th, $40 on $11

M of 4...but I'd rather push this preflop (though generally not in this situation) than call here. Two overs and a good flush draw is a call...I just hate going down with a marginal BB hand though.

4c 5c making it almost even? Slow played big pair? Almost any hand since its SB completing with any 2 and not many reads?

Either way, I think this is SUPER player dependent and don't know if there's a correct "abc" play

but with your chip stack and the blinds ahhh I don't know.. my head hurts

Mine too. the pair on board here only means the deck is rich with cards higher than six.

I hated this hand. It was at a critical time too.

No seen cards:

Cards higher than 6 in deck: 32
Cards lower than 6 in deck: 20

After seen cards:
Cards higher than 6 left in deck: 31
Cards lower than 6 in deck: 16

32/52 vs 31/47, very small difference

You are not better than 55/45 to win this hand and you may be WB, there are two limpers yet to act behind you, this is a CLEAR fold

I don't think it is, actaully.
pp>6 are pretty much out of the question, and opp doesn't push a 3 here.
I see the only limping hands that suck for me as A6s. Even that's questionable, as most will raise any ace PF.

versus overcards that are both clubs I'm a coinflip -- even versus AcKc which can catch a pair to win. (not that anyone here has AcKc)
If someone else calls behind, I figure opps have some of each other's outs (clubs or paint).
e.g. if Tc9c and JsTh i have 45% equity.
if Tc9c and Kh4c I have 42%

Tripling here puts me in the top 5. and My M is 4.
I don't have the stove on this computer, or I'd do a real range test...

I guess it depends on what you think of the opponent. Is he capable of seeing this ugly-looking flop that probably didnt help the limpers and trying to steal the 1600+ antes in the pot with very little, despite being UTG, or does he always have overcard+flush draw or better here. Also, i think you need a good read to conclude that he would not push a 3 here.

I think the difference in making the call or folding here is the fact that you are first to act rather than last. You can usually find a better spot percentagewise with an M of 4 and having just paid your BB.

its never been a call!
id rather get busted pushing 72o from the button in a few hands than call here having zero idea of what opponent has.

Opp got called, showed Ace high. So did the caller. Neither improved.

Figured it was something like Ax quite often looking to pick it up with outs. Lots of money in the pot and you're stuck with a piece of it.
