Villain pushes into my straight on a flush board

    Default Villain pushes into my straight on a flush board

    Villain is a TAG.

    I figure that calling the flop is probably just about okay. I have odds to hit my straight, there's fair chance he's playing an overpair I guess.


    No Limit Hold'em CryptoLogic (£50NL)
    Converted by FTRConv
    6-handed

    StacksUTG+1: £51.50
    CO: £23.55
    BTN: £48.75
    SB: £51.70
    BB: £58.30
    Hero: £47.95


    Pre-Flop: Hero is UTG with 8 8
    Hero raises to £2, CO calls, BTN folds, SB calls, BB folds

    Flop:(£6.50) 6 7 9 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets £5, CO folds, SB raises to £15, Hero calls

    Turn:(£36.50) 5 (3 players)
    SB bets £34.70 and is all-in, Hero ???

    Given pot size he has to not have the flush/8T often =33% of the time or something.
    Is the call right?
    Blah blah Op Blah blah

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Actually, you need 33% equity to make the call, which is different because most of the times he doesn't have the flush he's either drawing to it or a boat so we don't automatically win.

    I'm not sure about the turn, but it should be fairly easy to set up some ranges in pokerstove.

    How about a flop push or fold?
