Can I peel flop here?
 

15/30 full online. I raise UTG+1 with K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] folded to preflop LAG postflop passive button who coldcalls. BB now 3 bets - he is tight TAG like 20/4 we both call.

Flop is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and BB bets.

maybe I'm missing something, but this looks like a really easy peel.

No, it's much closer than that. Hero has a gutshot and two overs. Our overs could be dominated by the 20/4's three-bet and could have reverse implied odds associated to them. While a [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] won't necessarily give someone a flush, it will set up redraws. Although there is no reason to fear a flush draw, it does decrease our equity. We're subject to redraws from 99/TT. Finally another thing to consider is that a turn J setups a redraw for AK and JJ. We're immediately getting 10.5:1 but we aren't closing the action. I think this is a fold but it's close to being close.

For the record, I played this hand as DD sweated me spewing off 25BBs in one of the greatest games ever.

I really think you all should take a better look and think about this hand beyond, "it's 10:1 I call" thoughts.

I'd fold.

fwiw, it is 10.5 to 1. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

i'm not saying its super easy and jason_t outlined why its close, but i still think its a little closer to a call then a fold. if the guy behind us was aggressive i would think folding is better, but the OP said he was passive.

Wouldn't raising be better than calling?
