Default Re: 15/30 awkward turn position multiway w/ 99

Since no one seems to have much to say on this hand, I'll tell you why I found it interesting.

On the turn, I'm getting 7:1. I have lots of cards that improve my hand... diamonds, tens, and 9s all give me something decent. That's 14 potential outs. Easy call right?

On the other hand, the 9 diamonds will give me the 3rd or 4th nut flush. Can I even call a river bet with this? Can I overcall?

The 9s give me a set but put a 4-straight on the board, not to mention the possible flush that is already present on the turn.

The offsuit tens will give me a straight, but there are only 3 of those, and I still may chop the pot with another 9, lose to AK, or lose to the bettor's made flush on the turn.

14 highly tainted outs, 7:1... in the hand, my brain almost exploded. I could be anywhere from drawing dead to raising my draw for value. What should I do? Is it close? How do you go about appropriately discounting each of the tainted draws I have?

thanks,
eric
