Mason's article -- splitting hairs and fine tuning

[catlover]

I am curious if Mason would have played all streets the same way if his hand had been 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 9 /images/graemlins/club.gif.

To recap:

Preflop -- MP raised, late position cold called, SB cold called, Mason called.

Flop J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. The SB and Mason checked, the preflop raiser bet, and everyone called.

Turn K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. Everyone checked.

River blank. SB bet, Mason called, and the other players folded.

The real reason for this post was the flop call. Still worth it with the eight of diamonds?

is everybody really calling with any two out of the blinds with 3 other people in?
