    Default I think this should have been a call?

    This is more of an odds/implied odds question. Unfortionately I am not fast enough with my math to work through these in real time and was really trying to but ran out of time. I was thinking I was getting almost 4:1 (call $1 to win $3.89) and then if I factor in the implied odds that BB may come along as well it should have been a snap call? Amirite if I figure I have 8 outs (6's & J's)?

    $0.05/$0.1 No Limit Holdem
    8 players

    lummox1337 checks, Tiler 2707 bets $1, Hero ??

    Definitely call.
    A 6 doesn't have awesome implied odds, but you're very likely getting another bet out of someone with when a J comes... there's a small chance they have some stupid hand, and you might win with a 9 or T - unlikely, but it happens.

    I'd call. You've got position, a good draw and a bettor that will probably pay you off if you hit. But I agree a 6 probably kills your action.

    I'm calling here. You have almost 4 to 1 in pot odds. Your OESD is about 5 to 1, but your implied odds will make that up. I think it is a profitable call.

    yeah easy call.

    What I don't think I like is the bet. The reason you bet with a draw is FE plus the opportunity to get a free card on the turn. with one player it's a good play, with a ton of players... not so much... Check out, pray for free card
    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

    However I must say I admire just the ability to fold there when you know it's at worst barely -EV. That shows some discipline that I for one don't have.
