Good enough card to try to take down the pot with? Should I fold to the raise?

i don't think i would call pf, basically you have a high hand with low possibility, but with all those hearts and low cards out, and without much in the way of straightening possibilities, i think you fold

as played, when you call on 3 people assume you have three baby cards, so i guess the bet isn't that bad...once you get raised i think i would call and try to peel off a low card or a heart if i had live cards, but you have pretty much a dead hand so i fold

there are too many hearts out there already on 3rd. i don't defend this.

Agreed - let this go on third.

As played, on 4th, no that is not a good enough card to "take down the pot with". You're never going to lose all 3 opponents here.

QFT...especially at these stakes. Never ever ever.

there are only 7 hearts left in the deck to help you out, only two of your cards are low (and not great ones either), and even if you pair up any of your cards you will most likely be behind

it's best to let it go on 3rd

I think you can call on third even with such a dead hand, since you are getting better than 10:1 odds. You are not giving up much if you fold, though.

I don't like the bet on 4th. Seat 5 obviously likes his hand and is not going to fold. And your hand is still quite weak, so you don't gain anything by eliminating opponents. I would check and call 1 bet/ fold for two.

way too many hearts and low cards out to chase.. just fold and go to the next hand...
