Messy 99, 5/10

I fold the turn and do not cap the river.

Why would we want to do this? If he's ballsy enough to donk-semibluff the flop, he'll usually keep firing on the turn. We'll still be pushed off the best hand occasionally, but we'll just pay an extra SB.

To the OP: Suits are pretty important here, but I'd generally just fold the flop. This isn't a very good board for him to semi-bluff at, since you'll frequently have 2 overs and gutshot. If the flop is rainbow, he's less likely to be betting a strong draw since your hand reduces a good number of the OESD combos.

I'm at work, i'll get you the suits later but I'm pretty sure it was 1 of each suit on the flop. On the flop I was hoping for semi bluff, and on the river I was hoping for a made hand. I got lucky. On the turn and river I tried to lose as small as possible just in case I was behind. On the river, I capped it. I was right, the play was not ideal and that's why I definitely thought it was messy.
