Re: Live 6/12, A9s - keep betting the draw?
Take the free card. Consider:
1. You aren't going to win unimproved that often here, so two of the main reasons to bet (i. hand protection and ii. the ability to showdown the river for free) are mitigated here. If you held AdKd, there would be considerably more reason to raise here. (Get it?)
2. In a live game, with a paired board, and that and that many callers, you are very likely to get check-raised by trips.
3. There aren't enough players in the pot to generate a situation where you are nearly breakeven on your equity even when behind.
So this is a pretty standard check in my opinion.
