Default Re: dumb end of straight... limped pot.. felt or fold?

9TJ is always a scary board and difficult to play if you caught a piece of it. It'd be easier to judge if you had some sort of read on your opponents, but with no reads it's tough. At first I thought this was a fold but thinking about what hands we could be up against may change things.

Lets think, what hands are we likely against here that we beat?

JT, J9, T9, QT, QJ, Q9, 98, J8, TT/JJ/99 (very unlikely as they'd probably raise but at this level I've seen people overlimp with these hands so I'd say possibly but unlikely).

Now what hands beat us? KQ, Q8 and we tie with 87. Now, I'll admit that KQ and Q8 seem a bit more likely due to the minraising going on, however at these stakes players will minraise will all sorts of hands, many of which you beat.

So are we felting here? It's close but I think it's probably the best play.
