Do you ever give up in these spots? Is this an easy fold at some point??

I've lost about 90% of showdowns in similar hands today, where do you draw the line against an unknown for folding? What about heads up?

check/fold the turn and if he checks back then check/call or bet/fold the river. assuming decent player: he raised the flopbet 4-way on a fairly dry board, then bet the blank turn. i don't think he ever has a worse hand here.. maybe if we had A9 we can opt for a calldown but yea..

Fold preflop and I agree with Chenny.

Just curious, how come this is even a hand to enter the pot with, even from SB?


9 7 is actually a good hand =) Don't be so tide :P

But you need app. 7.5:1 to call in the SB with this hand, and getting 7:1 is than just not worth it with such a trash.

True. :) Well if the opponents are very showdownbound and bad then it's worth calling here as you have great implied odds.

I agree with chenny8888 about postflop.
