I'm pretty sure you don't have the odds to call the turn (You need something like 5:1 for an OESD from flop-turn or turn-river). Plus, the heart outs might have to be discounted. You got lucky this time, but I'm pretty sure this is -ev and definately not playing by SSS (with SSS we don't play draws out of free play unless they're monsterdraws aka oesd+flushdraw).

Flop pot odds: 4:1 (when bu calls its 5:1 which is just enough for an OESD but you couldn't know that when you made the call)

Turn pot odds after raise: 1.50 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 1.25 + 1 = 4.25:1

Neither are good enough to call for your OESD.

Conclusion:
Fold flop and fold turn, and don't brag in a misplayed hand :P

Please correct me if my calculations are wrong also ;)


i would fold the turn against the raise because you only have 6 clean outs. flop call is standard you will always have the implieds.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong to play draws passively if they're not monster ones...

About the hand, flop is standard call with the odds I get, on the turn with 4,25:1 odds and with the implied odds is still a profitable call for OESD. With the implied odds I got you will see I am also eligible to make a call with 6 outs since you need 7:1, but I got 4,25+3,25:1 (7,5:1). Plus, when discounting outs you can always have additional outs beside the clean ones. :)
