Sheesh the pot's big. BB comes out of nowhere when the board pairs. I probably fold that.

Anyone else plug our leaks?

I fold too. Don't forget the SB still likes their hand enough to keep going...

6-1 if SB folds 7-1 if he doesn't. We don't have a read. I think we have enough equity to call down. Maybe [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Yuck. The more I look at this, the more I want to fold. But I think we need to call down.

There's already 10 BB in the pot by the time it gets back to us. [I am ignoring more bets from the SB ... sometimes he beats us but I think he's got a weaker 9 so the extra bets he puts in here for our overlay should negate the times he's ahead.] If we call here we must call down when BB bets the river, which means we're putting in 2 bets to win 11. Our hand has to be good 14 % of the time here.

Now, if we were good just 10 % of the time here, I think we'd have to call, given the chance of a bluff or the BB's dog jumping on the keyboard, right? Well, as it turns out, we'll hit a 9 on the river about 4 % of the time and get an extra bet as well when it happens. Also, there's a small chance he's going nuts with TT-KK or 22 for an underful, both of which we have drawing outs against.

It's a calldown without overwhelming evidence that the BB is supertight. But it's close.

Nothing is "always" in poker. There's a good chance. You really think it's 100 % though? You won't give a 10 % margin of bull?
