This hand is fine dude. I'm busy right now, so I hope that others chime in.

Re: what to do?
 

i agree with Shill, thats fine. too many cards can come that beat your 9 not to mention the A that is already out there, also not to mention you're in EP - you dont want to get stuck in EP with a middle pair and have your kicker already beat by another card on the flop.

Re: what to do?
 

Good fold, pot isn't that large, you aren't drawing to top two pair, etc.

Re: what to do?
 

The pot is small, you have a weak hand that is unlikely to improve. You are facing 2 bets to see the next card. There are to many players in this hand. You have bad position. One of these reasons would be enough to fold this hand IMO. Fold even if it was 1 bet. My question is

Is this a example of reverse implied odds?

Re: what to do?
 

Hmm,
Given UTG called rather than raised pre-flop, and his play at flop, I'd put him on AJ or AT after his raise on flop, and call on turn.


I'd have UTG on AA at the flop, and not improved by turn. He's got AA or AATT, so give it up.

Re: what to do?
 

This is textbook. Easy fold.

Re: what to do?
 

Note how bettor is from EP. For your hand to be good:

a) SB must be betting a straight draw, middle pair, or bottom pair
b) No one behind you has better than top pair

Given that this is a small unraised pot as everyone has said, fold.
