This is a live game hand, so I will try to describe the situation:

seat 1: dealer, fish, calling station, but sometimes makes a reasonable play. deepstack
seat 2: calling station, few times has been agressive (but just a little and not preflop), chipleader, has been lucky few times, plays with crap
seat 3: very tight passive player, shorstack
seat 4: tight agressive player, deepstack
seat 5: folded
seat 6: -
seat 7: me, deepstack, have just a little less chips than CHL
seat 8: folded
seat 9: folded
seat 10: -

blinds were 100/200, starting chips 9500
I had 7c 7d limped and looked at the flop

the flop was 3d 4s 5h

and player 2 bet 400
player 3 called
player 4 called
player 7 - me - ???

well, that is only 4 outs and I could not think of any other... I dont want to see any other card than a 6 there... so if the pot is 5*200 + 3*400 = 2200 and I have to call 400, I have pot odds 5,5:1 and that is not enough for me :/ plus there is one more player acting after me...

I folded in this situation...

I was even thinking about raising here, but... with the calling stations, I doubt I was able to chase them out...

if they're calling stations you have some implied odds.

and again, calling station. raises don't come too often from them.

are really the implied odds big enough to justify such call? The hands of other players could contain just anything, so I wont be sure even if another 3, 4 or 5 hits the turn... I would still be afraid of trips... I think the 400 chips are lost if I called, I just wanted to get out of this trap hand... :/ but that is why I want to discuss about it...

I can write about further action in this hand, but I dont think it matters...
