OK, just read Ed's explanation which I probably should have done before replying. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Basically in addition to covering what we've said about the pot odds, Ed points out that the raiser is aggressive which is important (she's more likely to have unpaired cards, hence top pair of nines might win) and to your left (so your correct flop play is relatively easy, because you can check and act after everyone else has acted hence close the action).

In fairness to the OP, this is a departure from even Ed's "Loose Games" table (and if three cold call, it's probably a loose game!):

which include

So 97s would be totally in keeping with his chart, and on 96s he's advocating a departure from the chart based on the aggressiveness and favorable position of the raiser, which boost your implied odds because you won't be trapped on the flop wondering if there's a raiser lurking behind you.
