Default Re: Middle pair with EP Bettor

I'm having a really hard time giving Hero even close to 5 outs here. I agree that a 7 is clean and will most likely send the pot Hero's way. However, the 9s are so dirty it hurts me.

First off, a 789A board puts three to a straight on the board. If there isn't a JT, T6, 56, already out there, then other possible holdings such as QJ have picked up a redraw for Hero to dodge on the river.

Second, the 9 of hearts really makes me want to vomit.

Third, any of the A-middle holdings (A9-A7) will now have completed a higher two pair.

If I can find it in my heart to give his hand 3 outs, then I could see calling if the two to act had already called and he was closing the action. Getting 12:1 immediate pot odds on a 15:1 draw really doesn't make me happy calling when I'm not closing the action.
