25-50 with a straddle
 

Live game 25 50 100.

Internet pro opens to 300, tricky hedge fund guy who is smart makes it 1200, he covers us all. I have ~30k on the button with 99. I decide to call, seemed like I had a lot of options but went with the call. Internet pro also calls.

Flop QT9R. Check, hedge fund guy checks, I bet 2500. Internet pro folds, hedge fund guy calls pretty fast. Turn comes 8 completing rainbow. He checks fast, I check. River J. He bets out 3500. I call.

thanks for the update

Re: 25-50 with a straddle
 

You're calling 3500 to win 4400ish and it sounds like he can definitely show you AK or KJ or KQ at least some of the time. If he's betting this river with 100% or near of his range then sure pick off the split. I don't know what I think of bluffraising the river or betting the turn, both could be considered.

How quickly did he fire river? The quicker the bet, the more I like the call.

What's your image here, if any?

I just don't see how the hedge fund guy can rule out you having a king. Also, I think he takes this line with QK and AK a ton.

Think it's gonna be tough to get any satisfying answers to this question, heh.

how is wall street? id fold pre-flop and the river.

Re: 25-50 with a straddle
 

Looks like KQ playing for pot control on the flop. Have you seen him check the flop ever in WA/WB situations or connected flops? If so, I'm leaning towards a river fold; either way, the math of it all just sucks huge.
