okay so look at this hand....

(hand cliffs notes) i had KQ and was 4seats to the right of the big blind (middle position). i raised. the blinds and a limper in early position called me. the flop was 8s Ah 3c they checked to me and i checked. then a ten came giving me a gutshot to the nuts. then somone bet into me. the pot was giving me 1-5, and my gutshot was 1-4 to come in, but i folded. should i have called? am i playing too passively? are pot odds this straightforward?

(sure enough, the queen came on the river.)

here is the exact hand:

There's 46 cards left and 4 of them are jacks.

That's 42-4 or 10.5-1.

So with only 5-1 on your money and players behind who may raise this is an easy fold.

oh yeah i am stupid i was thinking turn and river coming! LOL

if it was the turn and river then i would be correct to call though, right?

1 - (43/47)(42/46) = 16.5%

83.5-16.5 = 5-1

So you'd be 5-1 against for both cards. But you have to take into account your effective odds, if you miss on the turn and your opponent bets then that has severely reduced your pot odds. The other side of the coin is implied odds but since you'll miss so often these are going to have less of an effect.

I don't know what conventional wisdom is for drawing to guthots in limit since I don't play. In no limit it's not recommended.

I agree, and I would just like to add that if you're the aggressor, betting a gutshot is of course fine as it gives you two ways to win - I often like to combined it with a c-bet on a flop, which often means a lot of FE but still leave you some outs to draw. BUT, however, drawing when you have to call a bet is *almost* always too expensive in NL, even if you get to see both turn and river.
