This hand is from a while ago and feels pretty awkward to look at it now.
Read on the villain (vpip:17,pfr:13,Af:2,4) is that he is an OK player, but this session specifically he was playing very very agressively. My interpretation of his overbet was that he wanted to protect his made hand, could be an overpair, a set, or something like that.
My point is.. he would never do a bet like this with a drawing hand, right?
So with a flush draw and a backdoor/gutshot I figured that there were lots of cards that would improve my holdings. Also, the 9s blocks 4 combos of 69. Hence the call.
It really does feel as a high variance play and it took me a lot of time to make the crying call. What do you guys think? Is it a call or a fold?
