This is within the first orbit of me sitting. No stats on Villian and I don's usually play at stars so I'm pretty sure he has no stats on me.

poker stars, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
Hand History Converter by Stoxpoker

Hero (BB): $50.80 (101.6 bb)
UTG: $71.10 (142.2 bb)
MP: $50.45 (100.9 bb)
CO: $37.20 (74.4 bb)
BTN: $59 (118 bb)
SB: $62.05 (124.1 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is BB with 8

Uh... snapcalls & fistpumps? Like, are you asking if you could've played this a different way, because I don't think so....

Oh, and for future reference:

Hand 0: 39.652% 39.65% 00.00% 3533 0.00 { 8d7d }
Hand 1: 60.348% 60.35% 00.00% 5377 0.00 { KK, 99, 66 }

Even if he has nothing but sets, you're still getting pot odds to call.

I usually don't play ring tables online but can someone explain why you want to risk your whole stack on a draw?

Because you have 15 outs. So vs a hand like AK you are a 55:45 fav and you have excellent equity vs sets (40%). The only time you are in real trouble is vs a higher flush draw, and the only time you are crushed is vs xd9d, or JdQd

Even vs. JdQd, you have 12 outs (6 outs to a OESD, 6 outs to make a pair). Combo draws are so so so rarely dominated, that when you do show up with low equity (which is still ~20-30%) its the equivalent of getting set over setted.

You don't have 12 outs vs JdQd, just coz that hand has a ridiculous amount of outs that nullify heros. A T makes JQ a higher straight (so that leaves 9), and almost half the cards in the deck on the turn will make your 6 pair outs dead on the river. Equity vs JdQd is about 1:3 i think, so almost as bad as 9dxd, which is as dominated as you can get on this board. But still besides the point as this is an easy jam.
