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. |

Sorry for not being more clear about it. Edit: And yes, I realize he could hit running 5s, but I don't ever count stuff like that in my "deadness" evaluations [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

pre is OK, hero is getting 7-1. (if 65s, obviously an easy call.)
but calling pre means not getting tied to pots with really marginal holdings like this one; flop is easy fold once raised. |

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