THE OUTLAW

5/10 live
SB w/ A7h. EP limper, button limps, I call, BB calls.
Flop: Jh9hXo I check-raise the field after the BB bets, all call.
Turn: To I check, BB bets, EP raises, button cold calls. I fold my nut draw, knowing that I am getting the proper odds to call. 110-20= 5.5-1, for a 4.5-1 shot.
I feel this decision is all about MATH. First of all, if I call here the BB, who has showed strengh so far in the hand, still has to act which may mean another 10$ to 20$ call on my part. Two of my outs arent clean. And I felt that the button may have also been on a flush draw. If this is the case, then what is normally figured as a 9 outer is really a 5 outer.
So now we just have to figure the implied odds. If I hit my heart I can probably get at least two calls. However, if the button IS on a flush draw I may be able to pick up a bunch of bets here on the river. I dont exactly know how to calcutlate implied odds but after thinking about this hand for a couple of days I think that I may have made a bad fold. Comments?
