The thing that gets me is two of the other guys are decent (for that game) no-limit players.
You're at best winning board 2, at worst dead. Board 1.... If spades are live;
4 or 5 spade outs if 5s is live
Also;;;;-
9 and 4 nut outs might be less 9s than 4s of multi way all in.
Very low chance no 9s unblocked.
So you have 9-11 live outs for 1/2 pot if your lucky. 4-5 quarter pot outs at worst
&
At best ~63+% versus sets
Worst dead.
Pot is 130$ limped NINE-way.
280
175
125
You cover.
You need to quarter pot against 125s
175 is 50 more...
So must 1/3rd pot versus 50$
Heads-up is 105$ must win ++50% to turn a profit
Sorry.
Fold pre and don't listen to your mate who soul read situation post decision. He did !not know that you had the best hand until you folded///called. Just like Phil Ivey versus Tom Dean with A6. Tom knew Phil couldn't call because he would never have a value bet called again.
