Default Re: JTo otb in straddled hand

Running this in Pokerstove against 7 & 8 top 75% hands, we actually have a slight equity edge.

So it comes down to:
o How bad are the reverse implied odds of playing this out?
o How much is the button worth for min/maxing?
o Are terrible opponents making enough terrible mistakes in a pot so big that their loose behavior isn't punished?

I'm inclined to say that at worst this spot is GAMB00L yet there might be an edge here. That said, it's well known how to destroy these games for a sick win-rate and you don't have to play this hand to do that.
