Villains all in is $140 total or $140 more??
I'm probably folding here. We're either marginally ahead or way behind. This board smacks my perception of a l/c range from standard villains. And without reads, ill give this one up.
88, 77, 66, 55, 67, 78, 86, 56, 97ss, 74ss, A7hh, Axhh.
If we had the Ah an argument could be made for calling since we have blockers. Even still, its a fold & top-off for me.

U are getting laid 265 to 100 on a call. W/o any reads on villian -tight, loose, aggr, etc - I am calling with those odds. I'd plug a large range of made hands and draws into poker stove and get your equity. But, on that board there will be so many combo draws like 87, 76, hearts, etc that u slightly are ahead of that it will more than compensate for the made hands u trail to get to the needed 2.65 to 1 equity. The only hands u really fear are straights and sets; your equity vs 2pr and worse is sufficient.
