1st hand the table, i post the BB.
EP raises, 2 callers, I defend with 65. Flop 975 rainbow. I check, EP bets, 1 caller, next guy raises. I'm getting 6.5:1 immediate, if other two call after me the call is 7.5:1. Of course EP could 3 bet and that would suck. Call or no? |

Does the book say to call in that spot PF?
The answer is no to both. |

I fold, we are not closing the action and our outs could easily be tainted.
A 5 is feasibly the only 'safe' card we can hit. |

It's close pf, but I see no problem with defending. It's your first hand, and defending with garbage might get you some serious table image points.
On the flop, I drop this. You could actually be drawing dead VERY easily here. People who cold call raises (if they're not completely terrible) often have pocket pairs (like 7s, 5s, or 9s). Even if there is no set out against you, hitting a 6 probably isn't too helpful. Finally, if you make your straight, JT (another favorite donkey cold call hand) makes the nuts. Edit: As has already been said....you're not closing the action. The points I've made could be overcome if you were closing the action here (that's actually impossible without people acting out of turn I guess), but the possibility of getting sucked in for 3 or 4 bets is just too great. |

Okay, sorry if it comes off as being a troll. 7.5:1 to your money is obviously great odds, however, as the others have said before, if you're going to play this hand, if you hit anything on the flop, you're basically getting the right money no matter what to see the next card.
In situations like this, I would just fold PF. I don't know what your level of play is, but 65 creates such hard decisions, it's just better for beginning-intermediate players to fold. As played, the flop brings a pretty crazy board. If EP is a normal player, no way do I think he would CBet into 4 players. Looks like this kid probably has an overpair. The raiser can already have you crushed with trip 9s, or 7s, so you may be only drawing to 4 outs or less. Fold. |

there's very little difference between that 65 being suited or not. maybe a few percentage points at most.
