    Don't think it will matter much in the long run what you do here. I can't see calling as being terrible or folding as being terrible either. Fairly unimportant decision, I'd say if your not very confident in your postflop play then it's best to just avoid hands like these because you may have some tough decisions on later streets.

    This is the kind of hand you need to play multi-way. Calling 45 into 255 is a great price. If you hit the flop continue; if not fold.

    Id say go for it. You're getting a good price and at this buy-in there are usually plenty of players willing to overplay an overpair or TPTK. So you have a reasonable chance of doubling up if you hit the flop hard.

    is this a sng? if it is, then you def need to be folding

    if everyone was 3k deep you could probably flat here, but 1500 i def just fold.

    the one thing about flatting here is that when the flop comes 732 you basically have to just fold to any bet. many people can't do this, and wind up losing a lot more than just the 60 pre, hence making the call pre-flop bad...if you can get away from this post flop unless you hit 2pair+, then it's ok to flat pre, if not, just fold pre
