Villain is 31/5/1.5 over about 60 hands. I've been moderately active.

There's a number of draws out, but numerous T's are in a stuper players range, as well as cold called larger pair.

Call pretty quickly you need like 27% equity he can have draws or whatever.

Bond are you bet folding AK here? Not to say villain is thinking, but I don't think you are bet folding into 2 villains, so 99 is probably at the bottom end of your range for betting here (unless you do in fact bet fold AQdd or hands like that)

We have good enough equity if he has draws, and if he can be had enough to shove 77, A8 ish here, so I call but I don't love it.

i hate bet folding into 2 people.e

IMO it's a call given the draws out. I basically agree with you Jschnett, minus a fewe situations that warrant it.

I guess I need more guts in these type of spots. When I call, I'm usually shown JTs or ATs and feel like a moron for calling with two outs. I'd normally wait for a better spot but I'm starting to get the feeling after reading a lot of these posts that I'm way too conservative. I understand we're getting almost 2 to 1 on the call but best case scenario villain's on fd with overcards and worst case we're crushed.

FMP, was a typo in my first reply.

If I'm betting here, I'm not folding.

Maybe I should clarify, I'm probably not folding regardless, because this board has a lot of draws that could be going in and like... okay a T now beats you.

It's a [censored] spot to be in, but a lot of times you're ahead here IMO, definitely enough to call.

I guess this is an example of a spot in which I'm too weak-tight, because I check/fold that flop against 2 villains.

Given the action on the flop, it seems you are priced into a call.
