Re: Razz - defending bring-in with 9 low

I don't think the call in 3rd in mostly about pot odds. Villain is probably raising wide here, and you could be significantly ahead.

Pot size is always a consideration. Always. You make your profit on later streets, don't get involved unless your expectation is high and the pot is large enough to make good decisions (or rather we should say is not too small which forces you to make some bad decisions). In this case the pot is large enough that if he is on a steal your in good shape to make good decisions later when weighted against the strength of the hero's hand. Although a 9 is likely the better hand it could easily become the dominated hand on the next street all because the 9 is showing.
