Default Re: A9o in the SB: (Passive City)

Don't worry, The Chrissy Evert tennis shoes on sale won't fit you, and a beer won't fall from the sky on you either PF or on the flop.

But that turn...now you have 2 hearts on the board, so upping the price of poker sounds good but:
1) If you bet out, I doubt BB raises to hurt the flush draws,
2) c/r doesn't work either to make them face 2 cold unless BB has the brains and balls to 3 bet.
3) Even if you c/r the turn and get 3 bet, how could you let it go at that point?
4) And if you are ahead, look at all the deadwood still in the hand. More deadwood than the money a raise would generate. The only draw threat is what happened, a heart.

Also, A9 is only a slight dog to A* coming out of BB with a random kicker on this board, but you are always OOP.

No, no tutu's and tights for you...this time. And with no river raise out of all the callers, I'm most worried about the 1st caller, it looks like you've got the rest beat unless someone has a real small flush and is also gutless.
