FoldThere's two overcards already, plus a very good chance that more overcards are in your opponent's hands.

i again agree with vade...pretty simple fold here...you are basically looking for a set on the flop thats about it with small pairs...you could flop a straight draw and such but even if you make a straight with the 66 you could lose to a bigger straight and so on...small pairs...get in cheap...hit set...win big pot...hopefully... :wink:

Yeah, pretty easy fold.It's a mini-bet, which I almost invariably call (Because people who mini-bet are just about always thinking "OMG i don't have much please please fold but whatever you do don't call me" OR "OMG I have a monster please think you see weakness and raise me huge but whatever you do don't just call me"), but with two people calling said mini-bet, two overs on board, and almost certainly more to come, you have to fold it here.

I was thinking this way and even with the additional people, I thought about calling due to the implied odds. From a pot odds perspective, I knew I should fold.I folded in the actual hand and here are the actual resultsThe turn was a 10, all three that are left check.The river of course was a 6 which would have given me a full boat. But get this, first player bets the pot, second player raises, third player goes all-in. Both players then call so there is a monster pot.First two players show trips as each has a 10 in their hand while the last guy takes the pot with a 78 in his hand for the straight. The winner ends up having 3x the amount of chips as the 2nd place guy in the tourney and I'm sure coasted into his seat. I just thought..wow..how often does a play set up like this where both players who hit their trips on the turn slow play the turn. And then everybody goes all-in on the river.I would have loved to turn over the boat!
