Even though you are getting what appears to be great pot odds lets examine this further. If you are dealt j6 offsuit or something like that you are about 2 percent to flop 2 pair(using your 2 cards). The pot is certainly not laying those prices and since it is multy way, you are much more likely to run into a set or a jack with a higher kicker and get in a lot of trouble. Furthermore, you are playing a multi way pot out of position. Just thought I would give a different perspective on this but as always a lot depends on the situation.
