Re: Top pair short-handed live
Interesting spot. It screams defensive bet with a draw, though if he's actually a good player AND respects your game, I might be more inclined to credit him with a hand here. The thing is, the only non draw I could see him playing this way is 89, as his line would indicate he didn't flop a hand. It's possible he has a weaker J and is excersizing some weird form of pot control oop/probe bet, but I highly doubt it.
As for what to do, I think it's a tossup between raising and calling, but am interested to see what the better players here have to say.
