wow, that sucks. that is a "*gulp*, call". I cant see you folding here, youre only worried about 74. ive got to imagine you are good more than 50% of the time here. He could have a set, an overpair, a busted straight or flush draw. You guys could be chopping if hes got a lone four. Yea, you gotta call.

Hey, I said I suck, no need to rub it in. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif But thanks for the help. I am really getting my a$$ kicked in these games and this is why.

i didnt notice that the 9 complete 87's open end straight draw, so thats a possibility too. I still think its a call

edit:these games are very aggressive and i think you should be willing to make more marginal calls, as they are not nearly as marginal as they seem at first.

I agree. I am a weak-tight girl. But I'm working on it. 6max is QUITE different.
