Default Re: dood I have a str8! (but, meh...)

So, believe it or not, the first two responses weren’t of much help to me, as I was already aware of my options. So, I’m going to see if I can do a better job or getting some discussion started.

Argument for calling:
I only need to be good 21% of the time to make this call. The first player could have easily missed a c/r on the flop or have made a set/2 pr. on the turn and is betting it again for value. The price is too good, and I am facing two unknowns who could (for all I know) be incompetent donks.

Argument for mucking:
Even getting 4-1, my hand is never good here. me_hungy is leading the river against two players, both of whom are likely to have been drawing, when all draws were completed on the river. Even considering this, Germaniac2 has elected to call. His range seems heavily weighted toward a straight or small to medium flush that is afraid to raise for value considering the turn/river action. Even if one of these players lost their mind on this hand, it seems like at least one of them has to have at least 54. Also, this is full ring, which plays pretty nitty compared to 6 max.

That was basically my thought process at the time. Any other thoughts?
