Hey, it’s been a while since we’ve had one of these!
Obviously, I thought I was getting the right odds (both pot odds and implied odds) or I wouldn’t have made the call. Any 9 makes the nut straight; any club makes the flush (and of course the 9C makes the straight flush). I didn’t put either of my opponents on a straight after the flop. I thought either set-over-set or set vs overpair. I knew wes41’s money was all going in on the river no matter what the river was. Having put at least one of my opponents on a set, does the possibility of a full house reduce my odds past the point where the call is correct?

RIVER [board cards 8C,10C,7S,10D,5S ]
Otto93 checks, wes41 bets $31.55 and is all-in, Otto93 folds.
SHOWDOWN
wes41 shows [ 10H,5H ]
chico39 shows [ 10S,KH ]
wes41 wins $32.75, wes41 wins $70.70.
And lest anyone think this is a bad beat post, I don’t consider this a bad beat at all. Also, I sat down with about $20 at the start of the session and got up about an hour later with about $70, so I’m fine with the overall results.
