Is It Ever Right To Fold?

Topic:Lets say you have 92o. Flop comes 927 with the 9 and 7 of spades.Now lets say that your opponent flips his hand over showing 86spades. He goes all in.Is it ever right to fold here even though we have the advantage? Could it possibly be +ev if we thought that we could find a bigger edge down the road?

Not in a cash game...

He's the favorite, so yes, you should fold if the stacks are large enough compared to current pot. That is, if you're getting worse than 1.27 : 1 odds.

lol, I can't type and I saw that I had put a 3instead of a 2. So I switched it around to make us have two pair.

It's not right to fold for this reason, however, unless you are under-rolled.

What if we are in a freezeout tournament? Would that change anything?

The rake could bump this over into a -EV situation, but I think I'm playing with your hypothetical. Don't fold +EV situations in cash games.

Maybe.

This kind of thing happens to me all the time...

Never fold. This is a pretty typical PL Omaha spot. There are a lot of times where even if you could see each other's hands, you would still be putting all the money in.

If you're not a statistical favorite, and you don't have the odds to make a call, then folding would be correct. As noted above.
