It depends on how many are coming in with you. I don't like the flop you cite in your example. A better one would be J94, where a strong high isn't made. Under optimal conditions you can take one off and hope for a dink (A or 2) to come.


If others call in front of you, or you think your call may bring in hitch-hikers, it can be a good play. If there are good players at the table, it may show them you are a chaser, and get you more action later.
