umm.... why exactly do you call the turn all-in. IMO, you can only beat a bluff. You may be up against TT, JJ, a Q, a better 9, etc. Unless you have a really good read on this guy, it's an easy fold.

I personally don't like playin NL SH, because it is the type of situation where I like to be able to see my opponents. With a full table, you can afford to sit back, and make reads solely on betting patterns, but with only three players, these middle pairs become EXTREMELY hard to play, especially when faced with a pot sized all-in.

Just some thoughts
