Hand from TS 6m

Like 3 hands in yesterday, both me and villain have played like 2/3 of the pots.

This line cracked me up.

I think A3, can easily get here. All kinds of thinking gets him there, playing a small pot, afraid of a C/R, etc. 99 makes the most sense, but unless we give him a range of 99 exactly, it is a small part of his range. I was trying really hard to find a monster under the bed there, and struggled to find them.

with a 2 way draw on board, and our hand strong enough that we hate to fold when something like 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hits, I just get it in now.

I have a general theoretic observation.
Maybe I am missing something with my live play, but I don't understand how I could ever win if I made folds in these spots. We could be beat, but to me a lot of spots are way too close to this. Unless I was winning 90% of my hands without showdown, there is just no way I can fold and expect to actually do anything. For me, this is closer to a spot where I am very happy to get my money in than it is to a fold.
