| Straight draw If you have 10 J and have a commanding lead in a tournament and the flop comes up 8, 9 , A and a small stack goes all in, do you call? (he has about 1000 chips and you have like 6000 chips). I don't think you should but whenever I am the small stack and I have A K in the scenario I usually lose. I want to know if he really does have a better chance? |

| 10 J against any 1 pair of Aces in that situation is a 2:1 dog or in other words has a 33% chance of winning. But really you cant decide on the information you have given Need: Blinds/antes, stage of tournament, position, preflop play These are just some of the things you would need to calculate wether or not to make the call or even be playing such a marginal hand in the first place! |

8-9-A? - Suits? Short stack - What kind of player and in which position? You - Which position are you in? Tournament Stage - Early, middle, late? Pre-flop action? Any other players still in the hand? |

| given the info u gave i really can't make a decision it's to vague, if ur just dealing with a straight draw and nothing else with ur j 8 than fold it. BUt say u also have a flush draw and a straight draw nothing wrong with calling. |

| You are a 2:1 underdog in this situation with the straight draw up against the Aces. I am still learning about pot odds myself so I cannot tell you whether it is a good play to call or not. We need to know what is in the pot already to factor in the pot odds. My gut says fold but I am not sure about the math. |
