In hindsight, I really wish I called this hand, rather than folded. Usually I would call a raise with 89s in the SB, if my stack was a little bit deeper. There are two reasons I folded here.
1) My stack depth was only 13BBs, so I wouldn't get good implied odds on hitting the flush, or have enough to pay for bets on multiple streets.
2) This was on the bubble, so even if I had a good drawing situation, the bigger stack BTN player, could apply pressure to force me out just based on that. It didn't seem like a great situation to have a drawing hand out of position.
So in the long run what is the best play here? I would have loved to hit that flush on the turn and have a nice addition to my short stack. So should I still call if this situation comes up again?
