Lay Down a Straight Here?

[silverfist]

This was a tricky hand from earlier. I wasn't sure whether to lay it down or not. I'd normally never lay down a straight, but I didn't have the nut straight, and two people just went all-in in front of me:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Silverfist (t1910)
UTG (t3040)
MP1 (t1595)
MP2 (t1950)
CO (t6515)
Button (t2385)
SB (t1045)

Preflop: Silverfist is BB with 6, T.
3 folds, CO calls t100, Button calls t100, 1 fold, Silverfist checks.

Flop: (t350) 8, 9, 7 (3 players)
Silverfist bets t175, CO raises to t2400, Button calls t2285 (All-In), Silverfist ???

I definitely move in here. If you're beat then so be it, but I can't see any reason to lay this down. They most likely have two pair or a set.

If you lose this pot, we can't be friends anymore.

I'm a lot more worried about the caller than I am of the guy who initially pushed. Would he do that with JT? No. All we saw was the other guy limp in pre-flop and called the raise-reraise all in. JT is definitely a somewhat likely hand for him to have limped in with, but even with all that said. I'll pay TJ off all day.

[Fortune 500]

I call. One hand beats you... don't lose sleep over it.

[salsa4ever]

if he has TJ then "nh"

[zarry]

simple all in here... one hand beats u tj

[TLR]

I would call, the range of hands that push/call AI here
56, 77,88,99, TT, JJ

[WildBobAA]

maybe you can find a fold with 56 here but not T6.

seems like a bunch of calling stations in the forum.

sure, only 1 hand beats him, but that hand is very likely. also, if one if them always has the set or the straight, he is very far behind.

wouldn't any of you add on hands like 9T (i.e. a pair plus the draw) here? I have seen hands like this make this move on the $11s lately.

[aislephive]

Silverfirst when are you going to share the results?

yeah I agree this is very likely...in their minds having top pair plus a draw is unbeatable! lol..

There is a myriad of other hands that could be pushing here beyond 99-77, JT. As someone mentioned earlier, top pair or even a pair with the straight draw could get overly excited. Top pair with no draw could do the same. So could a pair higher than 99. Two pair could act this way.

So I think the range looks more like this: 77-AA, JTs, JTo, 98-96s, 98-96o, T9-A9s, T9-A9o, T8-T7o, T8-T7s

To fold the second best possible hand in this situation with so many possible worse hands is a bad play in my opinion.
