Default Re: Trickier Sit N Go Question

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that when you just call, you leave the BB the opportunity to get off the hand.

Say the BB has rags, 46 or something. Flop comes KT9. SB bets, BB decides to just fold and hope you call. Do you fold at this point? Ya, you probably but should, but you're really wishing you just raised preflop in this spot. (Maybe also it comes KJx and you do call, and the SB shows QT... again, you're wishing you had raised preflop.)

I still think call is better, but the BB's option to fold a missed flop (which doesn't exist when you raise) is a noteworthy aspect of this hand.
