Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 7175164, member: 397965"] Preflop It would not be crazy to fold, but in general its ok to defend any suited hand to a min-raise, when there is an ante. Flop You flopped a flushdraw and a gutshot draw, and if you call, there is only around a half pot sized bet left. In this kind of situation I have a strong preference for check-jamming. I think, you have at least some fold equity, and it makes sure, you dont face any awkward situations on the turn, as - spoiler alert - is exactly, what happened here. Turn He is betting half his remaining stack, so I dont think, you have any fold equity now. You did make a pair, but this only put you ahead of A high or undercards to the board, and I think, the only such hands, that are still betting, are AX of hearts, that has a flushdraw. At the same time hitting a pair counterfeited your gutshot draw, and you only have one card left to make a flush. You say, you are getting odds to call, but if you are behind, thats not really true, because you are only getting 3:1, and a 9 out draw does not have 25% equity. He does have a little more behind, you can win on the river, so if you count those implied odds, you are getting closer to 4:1 and only need 20% equity. However hitting a flush will not always give you the best hand. Sometimes you will run into a better flush or a full house. There are also considerations about future play, because if you call and then fold to a river jam, it will leave you with less than 8BB, and then you can no longer rejam over an open and expect to have fold equity. Whereas if you fold now, you will play on with 13BB, which is a much better situation. So all in all I agree with your decision to let it go here. [/QUOTE]
