Dummy end of the straight, NL Cash

Game type: 2/4 NL cash, Full table
Your image: Tight Aggressive, very solid player who’s been showing down the goods
Misc notes: Table is fairly passive preflop and only player E and G have shown any really creative post flop play, the rest of the table has been pretty straight forward.
Your hand: 8♥9♦

Preflop: Player A raises minimum, Player B, Player C, and Player D all call, rest fold to you in BB, you call. You flop the dummy end of the straight with

T♠J♠Q♣

Flop: You lead out for 15, Player A, Player B and Player C all call, Player D folds. Turn is a brick with

7♣

Turn: You lead out again this time for 60, Player A min raises to 120, Player B folds and Player C moves all in, You:

I agree that you are probably in trouble here, but I really doubt that player A has K9s with a raise PF UTG.

Yeah, but a raise UTG that small doesn’t feel like AK either … maybe 10 10? I think they were thinking it would be a HU pot when you bet and now see a min raise as a good way to clear out the field but keep you in

I would put player A on a pair/draw, with a hand like J Xc, and I would put player C on 77. Out of position, with five players in the pot and a board as loaded as this one, I don’t think player A would call the flop bet with a straight. If an Ace, or any spade hits, he’s put himself in a crappy situation out of position.

Also, I may put him on KsKx here too.

Why would anyone fold here? You’re getting 3 to 1 on your money… if you have the best hand 1 out of every 4 times your in this situation, then you’re getting your money’s worth (obviously, you will). This is, at the very least, an easy call, and since player A will be committed with a call, you might as well just push it all in anyway.

there is only 2 hands that beat you (AK, K9). with no preflop action, AK is kinda hard to beleive. so unless he has K9 your good. and why didn’t they come over top of you feeler bet on the flop. so with 2 people in the hand. i put one of them on two pair or maybe trips, and the other on a flush draw. you have the money to be wrong her, so call. if person a comes over top of you call. if he just calls and the next card is red, go all in. there was no action on a huge flop, then tons of action on a BS card. you are good

I would probably lay this one down – albeit very grudgingly… If you want to stay in, you have to shove – in which case you get about 4 to 1 odds. But there is the question: why would C shove without a higher straight if you’ve been betting twice? If he would have had something like trips or two pair, he almost certainly would have raised you on the flop! On top of that, there’s player A’s min-raise, which seems *very* scary to me. Therefore, I think the odds are not quite good enough, although it’s very close.

easy fold

Actually, two flush draws. The turn brought two flush possibilities. You could potentially have to avoid any spade or club. Calling could be expensive.
