Re: Tough spot with A9s
paulie,
seems like an easy fold to me. Even if you have the best hand now, there are lots and lots of cards that can beat you, so your equity isn't all that high. You aren't getting your odds for your 5-outer, and several of your outs are likely tainted. I like the CR attempt on the flop - if you bet out then all sorts of draws can call, and if CO raises it just ties everyone to a big pot. I think that part of what makes the check-raise worth it is that it might happen just like this, and then you can safely fold, whereas otherwise you'd be forced to call one more in a dubious spot.
