J9s SB, street by street

Pretty new to the table, so all unknown, sadly. Let's try street-by-street, as I had some interesting decisions to make in this one.

Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero...?

I fold. You are getting 6.5:1 at best if there is no reraise. What do you have? Not much. A one card gustsot straight draw that could eaisly be beaten, chop or face a spade redraw plus middle pair with a kicker that you don't really want to hit. This board plus your hand is a recipe for spewage.

Yeah thinking about it now, it should be a really easy fold actually. That does make the hand play easier. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
