5/5 (100bbs eff)
Hero is new to table. Villains are mid 20s but average players. Hero raises pre from UTG to $15 with 5
7
and gets raised to $50 by UTG+2, which gets called by four players. Five to the flop.
Flop ($250) 6

Hero checks, preflop raiser checks, MP bets $135, folds to Hero.
I'm obviously not folding but should I have folded pre? It just seems really weak to call flop (and fold turn when I miss) with a straight draw OOP for almost 40% of my stack. Or is this a spot where my implied odds will make up for those times, in addition to the fact that this spot will happen quite rarely? Just wasn't sure about the situation I found myself in, what do you guys think?
