$200 NL HE Full Ring: $ : Question about break even plays
This hand came up last night in my local cardroom:
1$/2$ No Limit
Preflop: My starting chips for the hand: 180$
Seat 1: Call 2$ / Call 4$
Seat 2: Call 2$ / Call 4$
Seat 3: Fold
Seat 4: Fold
Seat 5: Raise to 6$
Seat 6: Call 6$
Seat 7: Fold
Button (Me): A h 7 h Call 6$
SB: Call 5$
BB: Call 4$
Flop: 7 Players--Pot: 42$ Kh 9h 2c
SB: Bet 20$
BB: Fold
Seat 1: Fold
Seat 2: Fold
Seat 5: Raise to 100$
Seat 6: Raise to 200$
Button (Me, after putting seat 5 or 6 on a set): Fold
SB: Fold
Seat 5: Call all-in 100$
Showdown:
Board: Kh 9h 2c Jh 3d
Seat 5: Kd 9s
Seat 6: 9c 9d
Did I make the correct play here by folding? Obviously I would have won the pot with the nut flush, but I correctly assumed that one player had a set and reduced my outs from 9 to 7 with redraws. I did the math on the hand: I am about a 29% to win the pot, and would have been risking 174$ to win a 584$ pot: largely a break even play. Does the fact that I invested 6$ in the pot preflop justify a call in the name of pot equity?
