    I think you had the odds to see the River IMO based upon stack size and bet size, At least I showed you what I had. :)

    you don't have the direct odds but you can call because of stacks and the fact a bd flush is pretty well disguised

    Very rare you'll ever have the direct odds to call when someone bets full pot, but as Perc said you can call with the implied odds, although personally I still think it's a fold.

    Hi Spurs

    Your consideration is a bit blurred as you have only 9 outs to guarantee the win...so 18% approx 4 to 1 and the pot is giving you only 2 to 1. However I don't think if you had a 6 you wouldt raise pre. You may be looking at k maybe AK Consequently if you don't believe he has a 6 then would add 2 for the nines giving 11 outs ie 22% so a bit better than 4 to 1 you still haven't got the odds DIRECTLY. However, that nut flush certainly appeals and you can always claim implied odds. You can't come to much harm chip wise if you stick to only betting if you get the flush....i say go for it.
    PS Did you have any reads of this player. After all its a canny bet by him to push you off. Is he capabel or was he playing fit/fold.
    PPS Just watching Tom Dwan putting someone AI w/ J4s suited pre after a raise and a call so take the plunge. It will be SWEET!!!!

    Just to put it out there, my problem with calling because you have implied odds with the flush draw is that to really have the odds to make it a call, you have to be stacking him really to account for the times, you don't hit, the times you hit and he makes a FH so you're still beat etc and I think the problem is your OOP.

    So if you do hit, what do we do? If we call, then jam river, I don't think we get called often, if we bet small I think we mostly get flatted by worse hands than ours so you don't get the most of it. If we check/raise, we might get paid off but don't like paying to hit the flush, hitting it and then checking in case he checks behind.

    youre forgetting that hero wont always be behind here in the first place. villain could be barreling a straight or flush draw. hero's 9 or A could still win him the pot. he isn't just relying on the flush

    Given the stacks & the fact he has a pair plus a fd surely its an easy call.

    Just to let you guys know, Profman called it correct. I had AKos, At that point I had to make him decide weather he was going to risk the diamond draw I was aware he could potentially have it and put that into mind when I raised pot.
