River spot with 99
Played this hand over a month ago and been thinking about it a lot ever since. Specifically the river.
50-100 Folded to button who raises. He's an agro lag who plays loose but well. I call with 99. BB is same type as Bn and calls from the BB.
Flop QJx. I bet, BB calls, Bn raises, we both call.
Turn low brick no dr's. We ch, Bn bets, I c/r, BB tanks for a teeny bit then folds. Bn tanks for a good bit and then calls.
River low brick. I ch, Bn ch's.
Reason it's been on my mind is I planned on calling a river bet and I've been thinking about two poker mantra's. One is "if you're going to call you might as well bet" and the other "why bet if you won't be called by a worse hand?"
When he called after tanking on the turn, I thought I might be beat. His image of me is tight, but he's seen me make moves.
Comments on the river appreciated. I'll post the results seperately with this post.
FWIW - Those that might think it's a big deal I didn't 3 bet pf, sometimes I do but this time I didn't. Nolo contendre. I don't disagree, but think the river can be discussed here based on the line taken.
