Top pair and an OESD

[Absolution]

SB is a calling station and generally predictable up to this point. BB is decent, but will overplay hands/draws:

This might be spew on this board even though BB is overaggressive. I thought there was a good chance he was pumping a draw and the SB was chasing and padding for me. This might have been a good time to wait for a safe turn card.

Strange that he folded here. I don't know what he would play this way. Maybe I knocked him off of something like K9 or middle pair.

This might be a bad fold, but after all of that action he can't expect me to fold here. This looks like a bet to ensure it's not checked through. The pot is big though.

Final Pot: 12 BB
