I am now back to NL10 because the effect on my BR of the downswing I am in dictated that I do so.

Here is a hand for discussion

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
8 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is BB with 6♦ 5♦
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: 7♦ Q♠ 8♠ ($0.4, 4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $0.3, CO calls, SB calls, Hero folds.

Results:
Final pot: $1.3

I folded because I gave myself 6 outs (8 for the OESD minus the 9s and the 4s which completes the flush draw). Is this correct?

In the chart for "odds of hitting a hand" it is obvious that if you are getting the pot odds to call on the flop then you do so because in the long run it is profitable.

However because as SSS players we are therefore all in preflop or on the flop, do we use the column for "odds from flop to river" with respect to our implied odds when making a decision to go all in on the flop against multiple opponents?

i call here. you need to pay .3$ to call and pot is 1.3$ so you need just less than 25% chance to hit straight to win.

i give you 6 outs from 8 OESD outs -1 for the spadeflush -1 for the bottom end = 24% chance. add a bit of implied odds to that and you have a valid call :)

You can count backdoor flush as 1.5 outs if you are playing to the river.
