Default Re: Know when to holdem, know whento foldem

The big pot advice isn't applicable here.
1) It's 2 bets to you, not one. Miller's advice is, roughly, when you're getting huge odds, like 10+ to 1. You're getting 7.5 to 1 here, with risk of a 3-bet.
2) It's the flop. His advice is much more applicable on the river, or in some cases the turn, where it'll only cost a bet or two at most to see showdown. You could be paying a ton here.
3) Your hand blows donkey nuts, and without an 8 or nondiamond 9, it's only getting worse on subsequent streets.
