No reads here. I am wondering what u guys would do here. Call, shove all in? Im only scared of one hand really onless someone and I cant narrow his range at all. What would u do?

You're getting around 5:1, and it seems to me that hands like K5 - KT are possibilities here. I think I'd call, though I may be thinking over-optimistically.

I also think you should have raised more on the flop, and bet more on the turn - that might have defined his hand a little better.

Try to get as much money from this guy as possible... He check calls the turn and check raises the river so he'll most likely call your all-in. If he's actually got T9, then good for him. But there are so many possibilities for hands that will pay you off you haved to take that chance.

Get it in and vomit all over your screen if he has 9T, holla.

Why did you minraise the flop and bet like a small girl on every single street? Raise the flop to 3-3.5, bet turn and river harder (like 3/4 to full pot) and for the love of god, shove river over his raise.

I suggested K5-KT as possibilities for the villain's hand - do those seem reasonable, and what other hands do people think he may have played like this?

The whole thing seems like he's trying to be tricky and has AA or KK. Or he has a set.

bet more on the turn, and call the river. He doesnt play it as though he has a straight. Seems more like a set to me, or AK.

Isn't the villain's play on the flop and turn (especially the turn) too passive to suggest a set? After all, with a straight draw and then a flush draw on the board, wouldn't he be more aggressive?
