8 outs to a straight; is the call good? 8 outs to a straight; is the call good?

UTG: $0.64
UTG+1: $2.54
MP1: $3.17
MP2: $2.12
CO: $2.19
BTN: $2.54
SB: $0.77
Hero (BB): $2.97

UTG1 - Donk/fish
Cut off; tight, prudent, makes halfway decent decisions
SB; small stacked but ok player


Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BB with J 9
UTG calls $0.02, 3 folds, CO calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.08) 6 A K (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, CO checks

Turn: ($0.08) T (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets $0.02, CO calls $0.02, SB folds, Hero calls $0.02

River: ($0.14) J (3 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.10, CO calls $0.10, Hero calls $0.10

Is this good odds to call in your opinion/
My thinking was that if the fish had hit a good pair I could get his whole stack, and maybe the other guy would bet before me on the river and I could get that bet as well

You don't have 8 outs, only 4 and you're probably not going to get paid much if you hit it because it's a super obvious 4 card straight and AJ, KJ, QJ, JT are all hands that people often have in this spot.

If the board was like AT48 then yeah, it would be a good spot to call 1bb to win 7 (and hopefully more)

Didn't even realise it was nutted; I need to play this game when I'm more awake.
Good point about the board shape; if the clearer the straighted board the lower the pay off.

Cheers

Turn is a fold and river is 10000% a fold. He might very well be blufing with a better hand but likely just has you beat.

Even if his range is huge, on this board you still would go by that?

Never mind UTGs bet, what do you think cut off calls with that losses to J9?

I would still go by that. I'm not gonna do the calcs but I'd say we lose to most 'random' hands here (maybe not entirely random, but with some discretion).
