Default NL100: Weak combodraw vs regular.

Villain 20/13/4 so he is good TAG.

Can I call this push and should I raise him on flop?

I gave him this range:
JJ+,55-33,AcKc,AcQc,AcJc,AcTc,KcQc,KcJc

And this gives me only 41% equity and I need 40% to call this push so this is breakeven.
Is my thinking is right and this is close or I can add some hands to his range to justify calling this for sure? Can I add some hands just as bluff for his range?

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $220.25
CO: $57.50
Hero: $154.61
SB: $99
BB: $100

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $3</font>, Hero calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($10, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $7</font>, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $19.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises all-in $89</font>, Hero folds or calls?

p.s. Totally missed up with pot odds in initial msg. Sorry. We have 30c+ here so it's really hot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If you raise the flop, raise bigger so you dont how to ask this question. Its still a call I think.

Ops.. The fact that SB leads into you make this tougher. Higher percent of sets. Crappy situation you got yourself into here. Guess Im folding, but i would never have played it like this.

Don't raise if you're not calling the push.

Ok. How you would play this? This is really interesting for me cause I really don't know where I can do anything other to not put myself in this tough spot.

Yeah just dont raise this flop because sb is shoving over the top 99% of the time. Dont like preflop either.

Preflop: Cold-calling 46s against a raise from a 60 bb stack is BAD.

Flop: Your outs are not clean against SB's leading range, and SB never folds. Just call.

Turn: Depends on board and SB's action.

Assuming blank turn card:

- I usually fold if SB pots.
- If he bets weak, and I have a read that he is able to fold made hands, I raise him all in.
- If he checks, I bet 3/4 pot, and fold to a push.

Remember that stack-sizes are very important when playing draws. You always want to be the one that makes the final push (without overbetting pot to much).
Putting yourself in a situasion where you are (almost) pot-commited to call his push, is going to cost you a lot of money.
