I simply cant believe how many people would call i think it was an excellent fold. I just checked on a poker calculator and even if your up against a set and a nut draw your still only 40% to win the hand. Clearly in such a case you should still call but is such a case likely.

Wrong, if you face 44 and AsQh you win 45% of the times and if he doesnt have the A it's 42%. Also, should you be so lucky to be up against 2 sets or maybe 44 and AK you're over 70% to win.

Looks badass but we don't have the babyflush so there are a lot of hands who are behind... if we would show up with 3h2h I like a fold way more than with 9 high.. there are too many combinations we're ahead of.. with all this money in the pot we don't need to be good too often to make that call mandatory.
I don't think a fold is too bad but I like a shove more. Even if Haaanh is ahead of us, we still have a good overlay due to gamble4you's stack size.. Unless you've got a very good read on them, you should stick to the hand.

It looks more and more as a shove to me.

i play in lower and more passive games than this, and i'd be hard pressed to fold it, so i can't imagine its a fold at this level.

I think it's a good fold, just cos we've got 0% equity when behind and obviously have to dodge all board pairs and possibly any heart to win

I think our hand equity on average is going to be lower than the price we're getting

Yarders,

"The size of the raise is huge in relation to how much youve already invested."

I've found that anytime there's a sentence like that in a post on this forum, it is generally safe to just ignore anything else written by that poster.

Why? Im simply making the point that your not committed to the pot

and he's simply making the point that that's a bad point, because his level of commitment will be reflected in the price he's getting on his call (less money committed = worse price on his call)

that's why people normally get flamed for saying silly stuff like you did.
