He probably pops you back preflop with AA/KK/QQ.... I think this board is so ripe with potential for semibluffing hands that I think you can call here.

I dunno. Very tough spot. Your stack is exactly the right size to make this a hard decision to make.

i think folding there would be pretty bad. you're heads up with the BB - let the chips fly. he'll have K9 or JK or whatever plenty of times there. the backdoor flush draw makes it an easier call.

What do people think about raising more from the SB? Harrington suggests 5BB just to discourage the BB from playing back at you, or even calling, leaving you out of position post flop.

As it stands, yep, good play.
