How do we not have equity to raise with 9 outs on the turn? I guess you base that on the fact that SB may fold if you raise?

If I was holding A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on a T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] flop, then I would 3-bet. But since our equity edge is thin on the flop (for reasons I previously stated), and we lose equity if a spade doesn't fall on the turn, and a 3-bet might push out the SB, I think I would only call the flop.

To the OP: as far as the turn goes, you have 8 outs or 17% equity. Since each bet you put in accounts for 25% of the pot, you don't have the equity edge to raise the turn.

Edited to add: you don't even have the equity to raise if there were five people in it, and I don't even think I'd do it with 6 players because there's no guarantee everybody would call the raise.
