Very small limit cash game - .05/.10 blinds.. most buy in for $5-10.. I bought in for $7
Im UTG with 9-9. I make it $.60 to go. I get 2 callers.. the SB and BB.
Flop comes 7-9-J with 2 spades (7 and 9)
SB immediately goes all-in for $9.10. He was a bit on tilt.. but the other guy in the hand calls big best with middle pair all the time, so I thought he hit the flop big (10-8 for the nut straight) and was hoping for a call from this other guy.
The guy that went all-in is a friend of mine and we have played together for about 2 years. I know his style, and the few times I have seen him make that kind of bet, he usually had the nuts, or top pair with some kind of draw.
BB thinks for a long time. He only has $4 left.. he calls.
Meanwhile, I have a set of 9s. And I really have the feeling he has 10-8. But even if he does, I have a lot of outs to a full house. If the turn doesnt pair, I have 13 outs on the river.
My stack is at about $18
With the all-ins the pot is sitting at about $15 and change.
I layed it down and sure enough the SB did have 10-8 (shitty hand to be playing with, but he loves his suited connectors - and I know this)
So in the end, I made the right read.. but was I getting good enough odds to draw to the full house?
The board did pair Js on the turn, so I would have ended up winning, but I was behind.
Would you have made the same laydown with the knowledge I had of the player all-in?
