I suspect this is a spot where there's a lot of variation in how we play. So it might prompt some discussion.

I call and if neither is pat I am. If one is pat I toss the 9 and 6 and fold without immediately deucing out.

In a 2/4 game this is probably close to a fold because you will be up against 2 real 1 card draws a lot and the pot is still smallish. If the sb and bb in this hand are tight and aggressive players that play reasonably well and normal before the draw then I think DD's line is best.

call the BB raise, capping is just inflating the pot and will not change anything pre-draw. If both opponents are drawing 1 card then kiss your ass goodbye because your a dog, but if both draw 2 - stay pat. The hand will break even at best, cross your fingers that this is one of the coin-flip times your good.

PS: I wouldn't fault someone for folding... its not that horrible a choice.

I folded. My feeling is that this is the ultimate in reverse implied odds hands.

I think this is a fold as well.
