Pretty good hand but can be in bad shape against higher straight cards and flush draws in a multiway bigger pot. Don't really want to 4bet to make it head up either cuz I get it in 40% equity a lot. So gotta fold it?
I would fold, I think even if we have 9♦8♦7♥6♥, it's a close decision.
Recently, I had similor post.
If you had reads on your opponents then you could play this hand but on a zoom table it's super tough. Ideally you're hoping that UTG is tight with his opening range because then you can be more likely to be against high cards (therefore your cards are live).
It's not a mistake at all to fold here, though if it ended up with a 3 way shove you will probably come out with 33% equity and just be flipping for the sake of it.
it depends on their ranges. vs unknowns i would never ever 4bet here. cold calling and happily getting it in if utg 4bets is fine, folding too.
