Do you know anything about the villain? I'd say fold or get it in pre (likely the latter).

As played I'd snap call. You're likely to have more than just your 9 flush outs (meaning any Ace or King likely gives you a winner) and since you've only got to call $1.76 to win $4.67 you only need to win about 38% of the time to BE. I can also see some aggro fish shoving here with AKh where your equity just crushes.

Villain is unknown.

also to say results , i decided to call , opponent showed QQ and i lost.

but i got a feeling you used wrong calculations. from $4,67 is 1,76 mine ,so pot odds were $1,76 to $2,91 ($1,15 pot before all-in and $1,76 his (mine) all-in) ,which is around 1:1,7 .

No, you're doing it wrong. Use the total pot AFTER you call to determine how often you need to win to BE.

Yeah. :) You can prove it to yourself.

Think about a pot with $1 in it. On the river, your opponent bets $1 if you call the pot will be $3. To figure BE you need to divide 1 by 3 to get .33 or you need to win 1 in 3 times to BE.

Proof (call 3 times win 1):
You call 1 you lose $1.
You call again you lose another $1.
You call again and win $2 (the $1 in the pot and the $1 your opponent bet on the river).

This is a snap call without a doubt. I expect JJ+ to be played this way...with 6 combos of JJ, 6 of QQ, 3 of KK, and 3 of AA, our equity vs pot odds make this a must call. Also, WVH isn't lying...all money that has been put into the pot before your current turn to act should be calculated in pot odds.

I don't mind the call pre-flop, but I think you're better served at these stakes to get it in since won't some of these guys show up with worse Ax a lot? And yeah, flop is a call.

it is a call for sur, 2overs and the nut flush draw u r winning this hand more than your loosing it so call. worst case senario is a set or AA and u r at 36%, againt KK u r 48%, and 60% against the rest.
i like the repop preflop here better, u was on position so the call is ok too.
