Okay, I'm under 50 posts.

You didn't specifically say how much of your chips the BB constituted, but from my point of view, if this was early on (with you at about 1000 chips, and blinds at 10-20), there could be reasons to call. You get to see the flop for a decently small amount of your chips, and you get to do so with 6 other players at the table, making the potential winnings - if you hit big - great.

But considering the kind of hand you'd need to flop to not be drawing dead (top straight or boat), maybe you should think again. Flush? Unless A-K-Q of spades came out, I'd be hesitant to raise a flush.

Flopping two pairs would be really scary, too. Who else is on a straight draw (or has a straight) then? Something like JJ4 wouldn't be safe either, since you may not be alone with the J.

All things considered, there aren't enough hands that you can hope for to make it worth calling. You're hoping for a made hand when you flop, e.g. boat or straight - but if that's what you're shooting for, then virtually any hand is playable.

Do I get a cookie?
