    Im sure everyone will disagree with me, but I think I would fold to flop raise. Has to be close though

    How can you fold such a big draw just to one raise? he could also be bluffing to take down the pot he might think im just c-betting with two big cards.

    Its a gamble isnt it really ??

    Sure you do have alot of outs and vs many in my notes i may do the same myself , but vs this oppo i dont , and as ya see you was actually in a spot of bother as ure diamonds were dominated.

    I`m defo gettin allin here m8 these are flops we look for when we raise with suited connecters  most times u are a mathematical favourite like 60/40 against any random hand in this case he has the kt of diamonds you are still like 31% to win the hand but who are we to know he has the bigger flush draw. but personally im neva foldin in ths spot

    Yes im getting it in here in a tournament probably not in cash with a 9 high diamond draw to the raise on the flop. It would be quite stubborn to think that he is bluffing 25% of his stack on the first street. Your most likely up against a draw with that raise so definately a reason to fold the flop. If your going with every draw you hit then yes get it in here.

    GS + FD - I don't think it's an auto stack off multi way-

    Surely you mean you'd get it in in a cash game and NOT in a tournament here ? If this was a tournament, playing 79s, in position or not, will destroy your stack. Cash games its okay,

    played the hand fine, if ur folding here when you rase pre what are you hoping to flop??

    hoping to flop quads are we?

    cmon man this is ur dream flop no way u can fold, the difference in opinion in the forum is most of these players wouldnt get involved pre with these cards in early position. (to be honest i dont like playing this hand under gun either)

    but youve hit your flop and go with it jeez

    Assuming villain is not a donk:

    What range do you think he c/r you 4way with on that board?
    How much fold equity do yuo think you have?

    Raise/folding a flush draw would be pretty bad play by villain imo.

    The strength of a hand like you have is you can play your hand fast and make hands that should call fold, and when you get it in you have decent equity. Here when he raises 25% of his stack multiway your fe is close to 0 imo and when you get it in you are flipping at best, or a dog against a big draw. You are basically calling a shove needing about 45% equity, which is going to be pretty borderline with that hand (havent checked it may be ok). If you think you have decent fold equity getting it in is great

    only the GS though isn't it - up and down and them 4 extra outs make a huge diff.....
    Multi way you can easily be getting it in as a dog v bigger FD

    Would prefer a c/r shove line, may get better draws and made hands to fold
