Lay Down. No flush draw out there. People aren't going all in with absolutely nothing. Maybe 1 person would have an over pair or top pair, but it is definitely possible the other 9 is in someones hand.

I call very quickly at the $22s. You'll see top pair, a straight draw, random pairs, and random crap way too often to let this go.
If somebody has the case 9 or outdraws me, so be it. |

When you check the flop, you should be looking to check/raise. So I wouldn't call that 100, I would pop it to maybe 300. If you do that, you'd have to call an all in.

If someone has 98, then any 9/T/J/Q/K/A is a split. If you are up against TT, you're screwed. If you're up against AA/KK/QQ/JJ which is very possible, you're ahead and they have 2 outs. I call. You're only really worried about 9x and TT. That's good enough for me to get 3:1 on. |

[/ QUOTE ] I dunno, AA-JJ you can usually expect a raise pre-flop, especially from players in late position, so the only hands I could be up against are 1010, 10x, 9x, and maaaybe somethin like QJ or 78. With just one player going all in, I'm calling for sure, but with a check/raise all in, and an insta-call...I'm leaning toward fold. |
