Default 50NL: I called loose and now have no idea what to do

First orbit, so no reads. Do I flat call here? I have no idea if I've got any FE with the raiser, its not like a set ever lays down here, and neither does the NFD.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB ($26.25)
UTG ($32.95)
MP ($25.70)
CO ($49.95)
Hero ($50)
SB ($53.85)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.50, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $2</font>, CO calls $2, Hero calls $2, SB calls $1.75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG folds.

Flop: ($9) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $10</font>...

shove you have a ton of FE and a big draw. any raise commits your stack so a shove is better

Depends: Do you want to attempt to draw out to the second best flush or would you rather draw out to the second best straight?

Fold.

I'm normally all about shoving these slightly +EV spots but i really do not think this is one of them. You don't have that much FE in this spot, you're flush draw is not likely good and its possible you're straight wont even do it. I think this is a fold IMO.

you have practically no FE

you've invested so little

sets, straights, and two pair are not folding

there are lot of higher flush draws

you are not closing the action

You're drawing to two situations with 0 implied odds and horrible pot odds. This is a clear fold, if it wasn't clear.

If you hit the flush and you're not beat, the betting will dry up and you get nothing. If you're beat, you're stacked. If you hit the straight, same principle.

Good to see such quick, consistent responses. I folded because I was worried about the bigger draws.
