Re: Felt like posting a hand
Unlike most others I don't like the bet on 4th.
First, you have to take into account that you just caught a very dead card (the 9)
Next, you have to factor in the two suited bords behind you - both clubs and diamonds are quite live, and we have to give seat 2 credit for a real hand at least.
I think overall you're equity sucks here, so to make up for that you'll have to get it heads up with seat 1 a significant amount of the time. In my experience, this will just not be the case.
Also, if (as will happen often) one or both of the suited boards cold-call (assuming seat 1 raises of course), and then hit on 5th (as actually happened), you have made the pot very large, possibly to large to just fold.
Bottom line, I would try to keep the pot small and then re-evaluate on 5th.
As played, I think folding and raising on 5th are close, allthough I would lean towards folding having caught another deadish card, the K. If somone calls your raise, you're hand really sucks.
