Calling would be bad getting the worst of it (probably)

I fold because money is going in behind almost always.

OP, a good exercise here would be to calculate your pot odds and then the # of outs that you would have and then post it in the forum. This way, the rest of us can help you with your thought process. I say this because this spot is a pretty obvious fold. There are additional concerns that we can get into about why this call is even worse in a STT than a cash game, but we can get into this later.

So I recommend you posting:
1. the pot odds that you are getting
2. the cards that you think are outs for you -- clean outs and possible outs
3. calculate the % of the time that you win based on your clean outs calculated in (2.) above, then add in "possible" outs multiplied by .5 because they may not be good.
4. stop playing 1.20s on stars because 20% rake is horrible. Find another site to play the mini STTs (not Full Tilt, as you don't wanna load up there until you have both rakeback and enough to clear the full 600$ initial deposit bonus) and then come back to Stars when you are rolled for the 6.50s.
