villain in this hand was relatively unknown and i had only played maybe 30 hands wiht him when this hand occurred. he had been a calling station in the few hands i did see him play, both pre and post flop
I had been playing my regular game 23/16/2.6
i was pretty lost on this river. i think its fairly obv he had a draw, pair of K's, or a 9 but hard to say which. the obvious flush draw missed but many guys would also play AK/KQ/KJ exactly like villain did. would you ever give an unknown credit for a 9 when he flat calls 2 streets?

does this river change anything? villain has ~80 behind.
what do you put villain on here? what is the best line?
bet - how much? if we bet do we ever make a smaller bet than a push? if we dont push, do we ever bet/fold? villains stack size is pretty awkward in this spot.
ch/c - get value out of busted flush draws/weak K's? but is a K ever folding if we had jsut lead?
ch/fold - seems really bad but is checking wiht the intention to call a small bet/fold to a psuh correct here
