i did insta call.. but at this stage of the tourney is it perhaps a good idea to find a better spot maybe? ... or perhaps not risk so much ??

Your equity is 34% to 60% on the flop.

Thing is, you can be behind on a flop like that but what if he has a high heart and is hoping for another heart on the turn or river?

It's a tought beat, he technically shouldn't even be in the pot with T9s. I just cant see myself folding with this against a player heads up, if anything Im hoping to make a full house.

definite call

-You are getting decent pot odds to call
-You are likely ahead (more times than not the villian will flip over an inferior drawing hand).
-If you are behind you have 7 outs on the turn and 10 outs on the river to the nuts.

What's not to like?!

I make the call, a flush is doubtfull (most people would just raise unless he has two low hearts) and with the amount of chips you have in I think its tough to lay that down.

Don't bet 300 on the flop if its your intention to think about folding...not that I'd be folding or anything though.

There are few hand in poker that should never be folded.

One of them is AA heads up on an Axx flop.

Call, at worst your a 2-1 dog getting almost 4-1 and the majority of the time your way ahead.
