lay it down

Re: Playing from the blinds: 9Ts
 

I'd have gone for a check-raise here. As you've played it though, 3-bet push.

Well, i'm certainly not laying this down. I think I'm pushing this everytime. If you call, I don't think you're getting paid off if you hit your flush. You're ahead of everything but J9, 44, 99, JJ, and you have tons of FE. Push this shtuff.

Re: Playing from the blinds: 9Ts
 

If you are going to fold vs. resistance with 2nd pair and 4 to a flush, then you need to start folding these hands pre-flop. Otherwise you are hoping to flop made hands, and that doesn't happen enough for you to be profitable.

I'm not sure I like a checkraise. If he calls your checkraise, whats your play on the turn if you miss everything? I prefer to get it all in on the flop if i can.

Why the tone? I didn't show hero's action. I'm aware of my pot equity here. The question is, do I have enough FE to make this worthwhile often enough?

Re: Playing from the blinds: 9Ts
 

A) No tone, real, implied, imagined or otherwise.
B) Reply was not to OP, but to responder who said fold.

spot on.

I default to push - but might soft play if I sense my FE dropping like the rain has been lately...

No way I'm folding.

gotta say that even a weak-tightie newbie like myself would push as fast as I could.
