MP ($0.89) 
Button ($1.36) 
SB ($0.57) 
Hero (BB) ($2) 
 
Preflop: Hero is BB with 3 , 4  
UTG calls $0.02, MP calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks 
 
Flop: ($0.08) 6 , 7 , 8  (4 players) 
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks 
 
Turn: ($0.08) 5  (4 players) 
SB bets $0.08, Hero calls $0.08, UTG calls $0.08, 1 fold 
 
River: ($0.32) J  (3 players) 
SB bets $0.24, Hero????? 
 
I folded, UTG called and SB won with a 8-high straight. I'm unsure how to analyse if my fold was correct or not, particularly that I didnt have any of my opponents on a range. What do you think? 
 
 
HAND #2: 
 
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.com 
 
BB ($0.98) 
UTG ($2.25) 
MP ($1.98) 
CO ($0.19) 
Button ($1.15) 
Hero (SB) ($2.17) 
 
Preflop: Hero is SB with J , 4  
UTG calls $0.02, MP calls $0.02, 1 fold, Button calls $0.02, Hero calls $0.01? BB checks 
 
Given that i'm investing 1c into a 9c pot: 1/(1+9) = 10, I only need to win 1 in 10 times to make the call profitable, right? Doesn't this (given a table with an arbitrary mix of both looser and tighter kinds of players) make a call in this position with almost anything (short of say, 72o) profitable?
