Party 3/6: Blind Defense

[zram21]

A friend of mine and I can't agree on whether or not it was correct to defend out of the BB on this hand. The villan in this hand was loose and somewhat aggressive pre-flop.

Preflop: Hero is in the BB with 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Folded to the SB who raises, Hero ???

Player A argues that with two low suited cards you have a decent chance of having two live cards and the fact that they are suited gives you enough equity to call one bet here.

Player B argues that even though the cards are suited they just don't have enough value to make a call here.

Any thoughts?

I appreciate the link, but I am not certain that it completely applies here. Te example in that thread was that the player stealing against you plays just as well as you do post flop.

I didn't make it clear in the original post, but I don't believe our opponent here plays as well as we do post flop. He sees about 50% of the hands pre-flop. Raises abut 13% of them and is passive post flop.

Any other thoughts on this?

If you think he will raise alot of hands, then sure, play. He will miss alot of bets when he is ahead and probably pay off too much when behind.
