I am positive he got 99-JJ here.
How much do you raise?
Is min-raising an option here?

if you are positve of that range id minraise, doubt he is gettin away from his hand from such a small raise, a larger 1 would more likely fold out those hands...but if your positive he has these hands i dont understand why you dont 3bet the flop??

Why on earth do you want to raise river??? If you have that read, why don't you raise flop or at least bet turn?

I came to the conclusion that he got 99-JJ because of the action on flop and turn. on flop i wasnt sure he might have a set. i checked behind on the turn, because i didnt want to get him out of the pot by betting the A.

I think min-raise is the best option.

You need to bet more on that flop since there are so many draws. Personally I'd 3bet the flop... is that bad?

if villians range on flop is 99-JJ and sets we kill this range so then id still raise for value. Add in how drawy the board is, this makes it an even easyer spot to raise.

I just call here, hes in the blinds and if hes got A6 hes GOING to semi bluff the open ender here, and what if the turn was a planned check raise. A6 is very likely, so is A5 A7 A8 to continue to peal. Your PFR makes him put you on a nice range of hands like AQ AK etc and he couldve flopped open ended or a pair and thought it was good

I probably would have 3bet that flop.

As played checking turn is good.

As played I don't really wanna raise the river. Your read hasd to be so solid to raise here and you have to think that he'll call with it. Anyway if so I guess to like 12 or something like that.
