    Default do the pot odds not let me fold

    I felt throughout this whole hand I just had to call cause of the pot odds. what do you guys think.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($60)
    UTG ($74)
    UTG+1 ($14.95)
    MP1 ($162.45)
    MP2 ($23.80)
    MP3 ($53.70)
    Hero ($185.20)
    Button ($28.05)
    SB ($67.30)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 8, 7.
    UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 2 folds, MP3 calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, Button calls $0.50, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($3.50) 6, Q, 5 (7 players)
    SB bets $1.5, BB folds, UTG calls $1.50, UTG+1 folds, MP3 raises to $5.5, Hero calls $5.50, Button folds, SB raises to $15, UTG folds, MP3 folds, Hero calls $9.50.

    here it is 9.50 to call a $30 pot. how could I not call

    Turn: ($40.50) K (2 players)
    SB bets $25, Hero calls $25.

    River: ($90.50) T (2 players)
    SB bets $26.8 (All-In), Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $117.30

    i don't really like the call on the flop after a raise and a reraise. although if SB doesn't reraise you're in a good spot.
    after the raise to $15 - you are getting 3to1 so you have to call and this time you're closing the action.
    on the turn: 15 out of 46 cards will probably win it for you. about 1 in 3. you're getting 65to25 odds which is 13 to 5. a bit less than the 2 to 1 you need. but because of the implied odds i think you should call on the turn as well. you are very likely to get an extra $25 if you hit the flush or turn on the river and you can fold if you don't.

    i don't like the call on the flop since you are not closing the action and you're not getting good odds. you're hoping that you have enough implied odds to make a call but i don't think it's a profitable call.

    also, SB could very easily have a set here and even if you hit your straight - he could still beat you with a boat.

    the first call on the flop is bad. everything else is fine IMO.
    btw, you have 8 out of 47 chance to hit you're straight on the turn (about 1 in 6)

    I don't like your initial cold call of the raise/re-raise. I might play QQ like that sometime but I'd dump an oesd not closing the action.

    thanx for the replies guys. I do appreciate it, and I think you are right I should have never called not closing.

    makes sense
