I would just fold the flop because even if you are ahead sometimes you are going to let them draw for free and hit enough to make it -EV. There's just too many horrible turn cards with 3 players on that board & you may not even be ahead.

i would raise the flop to see where im at.
as played the turn is probably a fold with an overcard, a bet, and a call.
the river is definatly a fold with a bet and a raise in front of you

The pot is 420 when it gets to us, so if you are going to raise you probably have to call a shove which I wouldn't be very excited about. This spot is very marginal all the way around.

I think I call the flop and reevaluate the turn. Against an overcard turn or big bets I'll probably fold but against small bets or a multiple checks I would bet.

I don't understand this line of calling. Any A,5,6, or spade and we potentially have to be done with the hand, not to mention BB has led out and could possibly have a made or big hand. It's just spewing chips.

i would push this on the flop in a ub $11 tourney. calling does not make sense. good but vulnarable hand so fold or raise and if i am raising here i cannot fold later (400 already in the pot) so I push the flop.

That is true, and I wouldn't really be happy with any A,K,Q,J,6,5,[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] not to mention another 4,3, or 2. So since almost every card could potentially suck and since one of the only ways the other players won't bet is also a time you won't be able to I think folding is probably the correct play here. On a less connected board I would definitlely wouldn't be folding though.
