Re: best way to play this?
A key to good limit hold'em is learning not to spew chips with marginal holdings in small pots.
Don't check-raise here. I think that with the gutshot (4 outs), pair outs that are good sometimes (2...

Re: A common tough spot..
Call the flop.
If you don't improve on the turn, strongly consider peeling the turn, as you will be getting 9-1, and since villain's range doesn't include tons of hands that dominate yours, you...

Re: value bet here?
Honestly, how small is the range of hands that you beat here that villain might call with?
Considering villain might check-call here with Qx, Tx, 99, and maybe even (trickily) some As, the range...

Re: I hate this spot
I think anything but check-calling this flop (barring a super-nit read on opponent) is a bust.
I don't see why check-call, check-call, check-tankforanhourand makeadecision isn't right here.

Re: Live 6/12, A9s - keep betting the draw?

Yep.
I think with certain line-ups of opponents, going for a flop check-raise is the correct play. Bet-Three-bet is the default for me though.

The fact is that we are never ahead on this turn after the A hits, and we have a full 5 outs almost never either. We'd be getting like 17-1, so 3 full outs would probably do the trick for a call, but...
