Smart play?

There is already $55 in the pot. rhino can call for $5. A raise from the BB might make him regret his call, but he says that is unlikely.

You don't think random junk is worth playing at 11-1 odds against 3 other hands?

If were going all-in with your last $5, it would clearly be correct to call. Since you are not, the play will be somewhat difficult if you flop just one small pair, and even getting a free play in the big blind might be -EV for some players. But if you can play well enough to stay out of trouble getting 11-1 to play any 2 cards here should be OK.

BTW, I haven't read it lately, but I recall S&M recommend calling in the small blind with any 2 cards for 1/3 of a bet if you don't expect a raise behind you.
