888poker - $0.10|30/60 Ante 5 NL (10 max) - Holdem - 10 players

Total number of players : 10
UTG: 25 BB
UTG+1: 22 BB
UTG+2: 24 BB
MP+1: 24 BB
MP+2 (Villain): 23 BB
MP+3: 28 BB
CO: 17 BB
BTN: 22 BB
SB: 39 BB
BB (Hero): 24 BB

SB posts small blind [0.5 BB], Hero (BB) posts big blind [1 BB]

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.3 BB) Hero has 5♦ 6♥
4 folds, MP+2 calls 1 BB, MP+3 calls 1 BB, CO calls 1 BB, fold, SB calls 0.5 BB, Hero check

Flop: (5.8 BB, 5 players) Q:club 8♦ 7♥
check, Hero bets 3 BB, MP+2 bets 21 BB and is all in, 3 folds, Hero ?

Should I have called or folded? Not sure if I approached this correctly. Pot odds were 2:3 (40%), while I have 8 outs to complete my straights - ~30%. I'm not too familiar with ICM, but based on this I figured that it was not worth it to call.

Looks like a fold to me, yes you have a straight draw but they are undercards to the board. If he has any pair then you are more than 2:1 underdog.

Early on, best to play your draws passively and check/call flop

No need to play a straight draw aggressive here in a multi way pot at a micro table. If you hit you get most likely still enough value and with betting you will never win the pot right away.
