satellite bubble hand

[Goon2]

The pot offers 2075:800, or 2.6:1. So you need 13 outs to continue. You have at least 15 outs. Three 4s, Three 8s, nine flush cards, and your three 7s may also be outs. I think you're about 2.1:1 against a winner.

So you know you're going to call.

Should you raise? I'd be comfortable that I had 15 outs which would give me the best hand. But I am not sure I want to go over the top as a 2:1 dog, because I don't think I can get the other player to fold given the fact I didn't bet the flop. I might get called as an underdog. So I think I just call.

Then when I hit my flush or straight (I'd rather hit the straight) I can go for the kill.
