Given the situation, I call. There are many hands that he could have in this situation. JT, JTs, AJs, AQs. I don't see how we can fold this turn. Do you think he called the flop bet with 99? Maybe he flopped a straight, maybe he had J9, maybe Q9 and was chasing a gutshot (unlikely). Still there are a lot of hands that would c/rai and the bettor might think his hand is good.

I think you could be beaten, but you could also be way ahead.


A lot of other players stated that checking the turn is a better Idea, which I would say has some merit, but I still probably get it in on the turn. We are only behind to a made straight. It is likely that he flopped it or we are ahead. What 9 did he call your flop bet with?

How can you be beaten? You are only beaten by a higher set. As I explained before, if you know he has a straight, calling is cEV even.

By "beaten" he propably means that hero has <50% equity. Just having the odds to call doesn't mean he isnt beaten.
