I don't have PT4 working so can't convert the hand.
I am on the button with J9 of hearts
Effective stacks are 44bb (I'm the shortest stack)
MP raise 2.5x, I call, BB calls.
Flop: Jd9d8h
MP leads out for half pot.
How do you play this hand in this spot with the BB yet to act?
I decided to ship it, I was called by both the BB who had KTo with no diamond, and MP had KdTd for a monster combo draw. I held and tripled.
I'm very tired and a bit tilted after losing a few pots where I wasn't sure if I was being bluffed. I won a huge pot, but I'm putting this hand out there for discussion as I need to correct all my leaks.
Obviously it would be a much better spot if there wasn't a made straight on the board.
Running the equities, I am an underdog in this spot on the flop. 37.18% against 50.21% for MP with the combo draw, and 17.99% for the BB.
Even if I just called the raise to play a turn, I'm still an underdog when it bricks with the 2 spades. I still only have 32.39% to win, MP has 43.63 and BB has 23.97. If we take out the flush draw and I'm playing heads up, I'm a 55/45 favourite on the flop and 57/42 on the turn.
I got very lucky to hold. I was hoping for folds on the flop, trying to fold out pair plus draw type hands. Obviously this is just a results oriented simulation. I'll do some more number crunching later with ranges of hands.
