[MLG]

I agree that many times a scare card can come. I'm not worried about giving J9, KJ, or QJ a free card here, they are drawing to 5 outs (maybe a little better with backdoor straight, but still). Obviously the two hands you are worried about are KQ and 89. With position I'm willing to risk it and trust that I will make the tougher decisions as im confronted with them later in the hand. I prefer to make those decisions than let my opponent off when he has nothing, and lose when he flops huge. There is no easy solution in this hand though, and I don't think the way our hero played it was bad, im simply offering an alternative equally viable line.
