Preflop? No. I make a habit not to call 4xBB raises with Q9. You do have position, and that's nice... It's a marginal call, not a clear cut one. You can make it, but it depends on read and comfort in postflop play.

One hell of a flop though.

[hydroseeds]

Definitely fold that.

Sucks you would have flopped the boat, but I'm not calling 4xBB with Q9s unless the pot odds are huge.

[nogenius]

I don't call that.

Q9 is marginal, and not for calling raises. Even 72o will hit a big flop eventually.

[mpc2323]

well i guess it was right to fold since I would have been playin it for a miracle flop only!!

[A10Chief]

It's called being results oriented...you see that flop and next hand you call a big raise with J4o because of it. Never, ever, ever, evaevaevaevaeva call a preflop raise with Q9 unless you're HU or you're frickin' Johnny Chan.

UHMM i was asking if it was ok call because i was getting 2-1 for my money....... I never play base on result.......

[A10Chief]

2-1 on your money is okay if you have a decent hand...are you better than a 2-1 shot against a hand that might raise Preflop? Probably not. I think you are being results oriented. You saw that bangin' ass flop and started questioning your fold...You know you made the right play here.

[lowBoy]

What A10 said. Bangin ass indeed.
