It sucks being up against two described tight players and not having any ability to manufacture folds with our huge draw. We've had that option taken away from us by the large raise from BB. So while our hand doesn't lose any equity, we lose some of the benefits of having a big draw.
You've got under $40 invested into the hand.... Now you're looking at calling around $260ish into a pot of $370ish. If we range the BB at something like [Sets, Straights, A3
, A2
, 75
] you're basically a 45/55 dog.
Now lets assume SB comes along after you and they have funky stuff like [weird combo draws, or pair + backdoor draws, big flush draws, etc] Your equity in the hand could easily drop near 30%. SB would be looking to pay $245ish into a pot of $580ish. Who knows if they tag along. Probably not?
Obviously at the table you can't play with ranges and figure out your equity but you should be able to quickly guesstimate your pot odds and a rough idea of your equity. So now that you're away from the table I'd tinker with the guesswork ranges above (you know these players best) and do some math and figure out if you should call or not. Next time at the table it might make situations like this not necessarily easier, but, give you more confidence at the table.
