Re: Too cute of a laydown vs Andy?
Hi Mike,
The 9's dead hand makes it more likely than normal that he will fold for 2 bets cold. But, as I already mentioned, even if you are 100% sure he will call, you should still raise because your pot equity is higher than 33% for any hands the opponent's have besides wired As or trips, so you make money with every dollar that goes in the pot. Also taking control of the hand and representing a big wired pair both camolfages your flush and gets your opponents to fold if you make an open pair. Smooth calling here really gives it away that you are on a flush draw since there are no hearts out.
Regards,
Carlos
