Open ended straight flush draw

[seanfaz]

A hand came up tonight where i made a call which i can't decide was ok or if it was bad....... It was £1/£3, with a £6 straddle. There were two callers, i limped behind on the button with 6d 4d, and the blinds called. The flop came 5d 7d 9h. The straddler bet out £20, he was called and i was about to raise when the player to my right moves all in for £196...... i tanked, eventually calling but hating it and the other two players folded. The turn brought a 5 and the river a 10, he showed 9 10 to take the pot. Odds wise there was about £266 in the pot and i had to call £196, so i had around 1.3/1, so i needed around 45% equity against his range. He was a loose player who overplayed his hands and liked to bluff alot, so i can say his range was quite wide. Even if i did have equity, that £200 is around 2% of my bankroll, and it was a very marginal call. Given that it is 1/50th of my bankroll, should i be calling here? I'm aiming this question specifically at experienced cash game players who have survived for a long time making money in the game, but all other answers welcome too.....:ok Cheers

Re: Open ended straight flush draw I think the call is just about +EV has you have a lot of outs. Was it right in terms of the game and bankroll ? I don't consider myself qualified to answer.
