all,

the push on the turn is a 4xpot bet. WTF are ppl advocating this?

Obv Europe is different. In the U.S. we blast the crack pipe at 2:15 every afternoon.

If we overpot it though we lose value from weaker hands that won't chase.

really important imo, if villain has a 9 we'll take his money anyway.

And in 5 more hours it'll be time for our friendly afternoon session as well.

OP, I don't like a turn push, I was saying overpotting it loses the hands we want to stick around.

Well just look at the river!!11!!!1

I think this is a bit close because of the one-card straight on the board. Not really sure what I'd do but folding is an option.

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.

What 2 spades is villian calling pre-flop with? I can only put him on K9. If villian has K9, I expect a reraise on turn, since he just made a straight.

Tough hand, but I have to call this. His line makes A10 or K10 likely enough to to call a 3/4 pot bet. I fear a boat and only a boat.

dbitel,

You have top straight, and it's only 70 to you. Unless this guy is an established nit, I call this quickly.

I hate spots like this. Its marginal. That said, I call against most players.

I really would have liked to have seen a bigger turn bet dbitel...Several reasons why:

1. several draws out there all of which you beat at the moment
2. take away his odds in terms of odds to chase
3. your taking away his odds in terms of implied odds if he were to hit
4. Your gonna force a naked 9 into a tough decision/ may cause him to push a naked 9 or even a hand like k9. all which we want
5. your getting the majority of the money in while ur clearly ahead of other hands which is always good

Probabyl some more reasons but i think u understand...But as played I call...you still beat plenty to make this call profitable
