answer these questions first:

why did you call? what did you hope to accomplish?

and more precisely, how would you react to these turn cards?

2h
6h
6s

Why the 2h, and Ah, I don't get what your trying to prove here.
Anyway, I don't like the call here, there are way too many cards that will be bad for us on the turn, I'd either fold or raise here, and more times than not I think I fold this.

No. You're drawing to 4 outs, none of them the nuts.

well, mostly I was just picking random cards that are either blank or pretty good/bad, depending on the view :P

it just looks awfully like a "mmmh lets call" without any consideration as to what might come on the turn

Really let it go. You play PP for set value, when you try to do more than that, you end up losing a lot.

had the blinds bet i fold but i felt mp could have had a wide range (many which i beat) and i felt folding may have been too weak tight , i think my position is the biggest problem . i was more concerned the blinds had a hand this board hit hard (thats why i checked-fear of c-rai). but i think in retro this was a spew. thats why i posted it to see if u guys agreed

What range of hands are you beating that you have odds enough to call here?
