Default Re: The poker gods giveth and they taketh away

My reasoning for overbetting the turn heavily is to minimize the chance of an awkward river situation as happened. If not a push, I think betting ~80 would accomplish the same. No baby flush will call, except for 89s. With this strong hand I do not want to gamble on the 84% chance that the river will not complete (what we think is) villain's flush. On this board I am more than happy to take what's there already and to stack 99.
