Re: SSHE p.148: Continuing with marginal hands
[ QUOTE ]
I ran it through pokerstove vs 5 random hands and various plausible situations, and in all cases except for 5 random hands you have less than 16.67% pot equity, and in some cases you would rather have a random hand than the middle-pair poor kicker you do have

This is exactly why you need to raise in this position. There's a decent chance you have the best hand right now, but there's very little chance you won't get outdrawn before the showdown.
Assume your bet knocks out everybody but one or two opponents. Run 1 or 2 random hands through pokerstove and see the equity then. I'm pretty sure you'll have enough equity to justify the raise.
