OK, so I was re-reading through 7CS4AP and came across the paragraph that provoked me to call here- it's the first full paragraph on page 45. Here the authors state you can call a raise with a small live pair and straight flush kicker if you anticipate a multiway pot.

So did I missapply the text here in some way?

I'm not hellbent on playing junk; it's just that since my bible tells me these hands can be profitable I'd like to understand how- gaining some experience with them is what I was trying to do here. I'd like to learn how to be a better player and not miss opportunities if hands like this can be profitable multiway, and the only way I'm going to learn is by getting out there and try some stuff. If that means a few misapplications along the way, I'm fine with that (it's only money [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ), but I'd like to understand what the author's had in mind for playing these hands if this wasn't it.
