Re: Quick Question on Equity
Raze is right.
By my reckoning, if he calls, he's accepting pot odds of 27 - 17.50.
That's approximately 60 - 40, so he'd need 40% equity to make calling worthwhile.

Re: which way to make more $$
Multi-tabling at a level you don't even know you can beat on one table is insane.
That's why '4-tabling $50NL' shouldn't even be an option on your list at the moment.
If you're ready to take...

Re: Do I need both ToP and SSHE
Get both TOP and SSHE if you possibly can.
No way that either of those could be regarded as a rehash of the other.
Good Luck.

Re: Straight, but oh no!
Folding would be uber-tight IMO.
You're up against a set here, or even a crappy two-pair, way more often than a better straight.
The only hand that beats you is 59 or 9T. Difficult to imagine a...

Re: Flopped a full house...not excited
Villain raised pre-flop. So what? - he could do that with a ton of hands. AA, AK are only part of his range.
Checking behind on the turn is criminal. He could easily have AQ, AJ, and you're giving...
