This type of advice is really helpful for dbitel on how to play the hand.

Pretty new to the table, so no reads.

so what's your read on an unknown player? mine is that unknown players don't bluff scare cards, so i fold. i wonder how this read will change as i move up past $50NL.

Your turn bet is fine.

Could have a bare 9 but it seems unlikely given the PF action. He could also have AK but I think AK bets the turn to deny flush draw odds to you and try to get the money in good (then again, there are lots of donks at 1/2 as well).

I think it's most likely he has what he's representing. The only hand you're ahead of that he represents is 9x. I think the only hand that sort of fits is K9s but that's obviously unlikely.

He'd have to be awfully aggro/ballsy to bluff bet this river on such a board.

I fold.

Is the river card truly a scare card for Villain? Villian has just been bet into on the last 2 streets, from a player who could have taken a free card. Does he put our Hero on a spade flush draw?

sorry if i wasn't clear .. i meant that it's a scare card for Hero, not Villain. but, my read on unknown villains is that they won't take that as a neon sign saying "bluff into the hero now." vs. epdaws, of course, it's an instacall [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

To call a bet one one street with the sole intention of raising to steal on a future street.

Hey Grunch (or any other mod, of course), shouldn't this be in the main sticky somewhere prominent?
