Just wondering about possible lines on a hand I recently played:

SB hasn't really done anything noticeable. He's 37.8/12 over a decent sample. UTG is unknown.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com (http://www.internettexasholdem.com)

Button ($40.30)
SB ($92.40)
Hero ($119.90)
UTG ($29.80)
MP ($10.65)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($2) 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.25</font>, UTG calls $1.25, MP calls $1.25, SB calls $1.25.

Turn: ($7) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $10</font>, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $31</font>, Hero...

People do not squeeze in this spot. The sb has you beat, UTG likely has you beat as well.

A reraise and another reraise is to much heat for 2 pair, I think. At least one of them is in front of You. Easy fold.

I would shove, if we're behind we have a redraw to a boat and a flush, well worth it IMO. Maybe I just suck though. I'd like to hear what others would do here.

SB hit the straight. I'd guess that unknown has an overpair...or slightly less likely, a set. With 13 clean outs, what are your odds?

30.95% here.

And if he has a set (and it's not 9s), you only have 11 clean outs. Again, what are the odds?

26.19% to win in this situation.

That's a really tough/lame situation.

I think calling is the best play here, we're getting too good a price to fold if you consider implied odds and the chances of utg coming along (I think its close without any implied odds, but its late and I might be doing something wrong). And pushing doesn't really accomplish anything. We're pretty much always behind, and no hand that beats us is folding here.
