My struggle against my inner calling station, part 2
 

I've realised that I'm calling down too many weak hands - I'm rarely over 50 % W@SD. This is a typically tough spot. Inside straight draw with one overcard on the turn. Pot offers 5:1.

Getting 7:1, you need 6 outs. I guess you have those. Closing the action, I call.

call the turn. We have 4 outs to the nuts &amp; 1 overcard. If we hit an ace on the river it gets interesting.

plus closing ya

Hmm, thanks guys. I folded here. And the river was a J - of course.

6 outs? I don't count 2 for our overcard given how close together the board is. I'd have folded.

With only 4 outs to the nuts plus a small pot i'd fold here

That's likely offset by your implieds if you river the nuts.
