Do I have the right odds on the turn?

Its pretty much readless (second hand of the match) the fisrt one I raises and he folded.

On the flop I think calling is perfectly find as I have a weak draw that I dont want to play it fast and fold, so I decide to float.

On the turn its a situation that comes down frecuently and Im not sure if I have the right odds or no.

What do you think about this spot?

Hi there AGT89First point:

Hi there AGT89

First point: you might want to fold preflop. I realise that 79o can be defended profitably, but it's marginal. The blinds will go up quickly, so why waste time with a marginal hand?

On both the flop and turn, you are being priced in. You have 18% to make your draw on the turn, and 18% on the river also. With 3-1 pot odds, you really have to call, based on the implied odds. I think the pot is too small to c/r bluff all-in on the flop, and the odds are too slim on the turn. Much better just to peel, as you did.

One more point: I would lead out on the river. 6x and 8x will check back, possibly even Kx if opponent is a thinking player considering draws and 2-pair scenarios. I realise the river c/r worked better in this case, but I think a 1/2 - 2/3 pot lead is the most profitable line overall.

Personally, I would say the hand is fine played as was.  True 6x and 8x are checking behind, but they are also struggling to call a half-pot lead on the river. A lead out is pretty horrible for the K9 as you're looking at beating a 57 bluff; most of hero's hands are checking the river, which would make hero's lead out galling for the villain. I'd expect villain to bluff some of the time and certainly vb the king to warrant a river-check from hero. In addition there is the meta-game - I'd want villain to be value-betting shy against me, which this check helps to facilitate (if he checks behind).

Pre-flop is instinctively a call for me at these blinds.

Thank you guys, so I guess

Thank you guys, so I guess it's clear that Im priced in to call.

About the preflop call I know its marginal, but this game its pretty much a cash game, so I think I can't just pass a marginal +EV.  Im also pretty confident about my postflop edge/play.

Against a lead on the river, I think the same of the guy above.
