Villian seemed decent an was running 20/14ish. Villian almost timed out when he was first to act on this flop. When we get checkraised on this flop, how best to proceed? If there was a flush draw out there, I would have pushed. When the board comes dry like this, I get lost. I figured villian could have a str8 draw/2 pair or a set. Maybe I got cr w A9? I figured he would slow down on the turn w/anything that we are ahead of. How should I play this hand? Is the turn call a spew? Comment on all streets.

On such a dry flop the flop call is fine for me. I possibly shove the turn as it opens up a few draws, however, tough spot as a straight draw gets there.

I just dont think i'm just calling this flop because it's now very draw heavy, and also (as what happened) I dont want the ace to get there.

You're looking at a set, 89, or an overpair to the board here. This may be giving villain too much credit but you are probably only beating QQ and TT and I don't really see villain playing the later streets like that...I prolly give this one up somewhere - definitely the river at least. Im curious what other people have to say.
