The Pain Continues

You are forgetting one more VERY important thing here. Assuming he could not put you on pocket 9's, thus canceling many of his outs.... It appears he thought he had 13 outs (two 7's three 6's four 9's and four 4's) but he really had 14....and the last out was the biggest one of all. YOU FOLDING. It is MUCH easier to make this bet than to call this bet (in his spot of course) bc by calling you lost the most important out of all...the 14th

As far as the second part of your question, in my opinion YES. I think I've mentioned this before but just the other week a player raised in EP, there were two callers and I called with 7c6c in LP. The flop came 8c 9c 2s. The raiser, first to act moved the rest of his stack in (an overbet) The other two folded to me. I knew that 95% he had a pocket pair JJ-AA... and that meant that I was ahead 55/45 at that point. There were no pot odds what so ever, but in about 10 second I made this call. (I hit the flush on the turn but it paired the board, then the river paired his hole pair, jacks, giving him the boat....but thats not the point) I'd do it all over again the same way.
