[blindside]

i don't get it.... if he b/3b the flop with A9, why couldn't he play AT/AK/KK/KQ the same way? maybe throw QT in there? and wouldn't he call on the end with all/most of those? or was he not going to pay off with those hands either?

OK maybe he doesn't play AT/AK like that come to think of it.. you already said as much... but if that's uncharacteristic of him then isn't b/3bing A9 just as uncharacteristic of him on this flop?

good hand though... and good read which probably tilted the decision to what you did .. but i can't shake the feeling that with most anyone their calling range is a dog to your holding...

anyway this is probably why you're a much better player than i am...
