You're between 41% and 49% to win the high if you're against the worst case scenario (a set) depending on which set he has. If he has a viable low (he more than likely does, unless he was on something like A33K), your EE is between 37% and 44% or so in those worst case, but most likely, scenarios. In short, you're priced in based on your flop pot. If your position is good, I don't hate checking behind to see what comes off on the turn. Then you can get away from the hand for $2 instead of slightly worse than a coin flip for $45 (assuming worst case scenario). If you do hit the turn hard, you're probably still getting paid off if he has a set.

Your stack is low, you have dead money in the pot, and you are out of position.You have 70% chance against a set but it's about a coin flip, and you have 30% chance against similar but could be inferior draws and that makes you from a slight favorite to big favorite.What are you waiting for?

Early in a tourney i can fold this, cash game i am going to call here. I like having the top pair, my money is on he has a weak set or a lower wrap, top two could be a possibility as well, either way you are in good shape with how much money you already have in there.

I did call, villian had A299, which is about the worst I could expect, we chopped when he made low and I made a heart flush.I kind of made this play by 'feel' meaning I didn't know the numbers but it seems a high wrap like this with little low possiblities is a good one to try to pick up right away.

yeah, the first set of odds i ran was exactly A299 vs your hand, and your EE was the mid - low 40s, obv enough to put it in. good instinct, etc.
