Default Re: T9s on button facing three limpers and a raiser

im going to have to go against the grain here which seems to be raise.


its a fold imo.

T9s may win, may make top pair but look at what a raise does:

1) it puts more money in the pot w/ a hand that isn't likely best.

2) you tie your opponents to a pot that you may not want to. if you have a pair they are likely to peel and there are 5 cards higher than the highest pair yoiu can make.

3) you may have more than fair share of equity, and position, but equity doesn't factor in what the hand plays out like 3 handed vs. 5 handed for 3 bets and 2 bets respectively

i can't remember what else i was thinking so i'll stop there for now.
