Default Re: Marginal Spot with Pair+Draw... Gamble???

Calling here has nothing to do with reevaluating and being able to get away. There are two huge reasons to call:
1. Your FE is 0 (as lowwrestling points out). The reason we push our combo draws is FE and here we have little. Against SB FE is terrible...then there are 3 other villains to think about.
2. You want a family pot...anyone calling here is likely ahead of you already but at the same time, you are probably ahead of all of them if you hit your outs. Your odds skyrocket with every additional player that calls here and raising only makes them fold.

If this gets raised again you will be happy to get your money in on the flop...just don't be the one pushing the action.
