Ilovepoker, your response was worthless why even post that? use some comprehension or dont post a response pls. i am saying i dont always flat call in this spot, i often c/r flop or 3-bet preflop etc - but sometimes i play it the way illustrated... also, this post was not about how it was played up to the river, only the bluff option...

for the rest: because turn checked around, if someone made flush or straight they will bet it out from mid position on river - also, because villain checked behind on the turn it is unlikely he had a flushdraw (especially with Ah held by me) - at this point the only hand that gets there for CO is 99, and its unlikely he checks it around on turn

- my thoughts are that some of the players in the middle may have made a ragged 2pr they will call 1 bet for, but not the c/r cold... and i think CO has mediocre holding, 99, or a bluff... someone give some reasonable insights besides

last, if i did C/R what can others at the table call with in mid and what can C/O call with if its folded to him?

thanks for any thoughtful responses and anyone who stopped mid post and deleted if it contains something rediculous containing robots

No one is folding a straight, which is your main problem. I would expect CO to have 99 alot here. Also, it seems extremely unlikely that he would bluff into this field on this board. I expect that you will get called in 2 spots if not reraised. This play works in 3-way pots where it is obvious that the player in position is bluffing and the remaining player has a weakish made hand and might overcall. This play almost never works in a large multiway 8-16 pot.
