Re: What do I do?
guess i deserved this response...i'm still learning this stupid game :-)
Limped on a whim Bet the flop when everyone checked Called the re-raise on the draw and because I figured it was a standard C/R from the BB

Re: What do I do?
1) Don't limp on a whim. 54o sucks. If you ever play 54o, it should be from one of the blinds when nobody raises preflop.
2) Bluffing the flop with position is not always a bad idea when you aren't going to call if anyone check/raises, when it's just a pure bluff. However, you now have a hand which really wants to see a turn card cheaply to possibly improve to the nuts or near-nuts. If you had a 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] here, I wouldn't hate the bet because you have such a monster draw that you don't mind a check/raise because you can push over it. You can't stand a C/R because your hand is weak, here but you do want to see the next card. Check. 3) I have no idea what a "standard C/R" is but when I have a terrible hand and nothing but an OESD and the BB check/raises me on a complete rag board, and I'm getting worse than 2:1 odds to call the raise, I don't call. If you are convinced that he's on a total steal, you could reraise him again. I wouldn't, I fold now. You tried a bluff and it failed, give up. You should have just checked in the first place to see if the turn improved your hand.

Re: What do I do?
Oh, and, if not completely obvious, fold the turn.
Even if he's on a total bluff, he's ahead of you, since you are pretty close to the nut low right now. I'll assume he has at least 1 pair, so your only outs are 3's and maybe 8's. There's even a very chance you're drawing dead if he had T8, and a slightly higher chance that an 8 would give him a better straight. So I'd count it as around 7.5 clean outs, discounting for the off chance that he has a better straight or could draw to one. That gives you a roughly 16% chance of winning, or about 6:1. It would cost you 1410 to win 2585, which is about 1.8:1. If you can't instafold that, you need to work on your math.

Re: What do I do?
Yea, I did fold. Not insta, so I gotta work on my quick math skills. BTW, just played 4h5h in the SB, (4 limpers in total) flopped openended to Q high board and insta-folded to the BBs all-in. I'm learning, eh?
