I'm guessing he has TJ, or a slowplayed set that became a house. You need a read.

[pmuir10]

given that read, check call the river would be your suggestion?

[younghov17]

check call river, otherwise fine.

i think i would've probably played it about the same way - might've bet more along the lines of 1/2 pot on the river.

it seems hard to get away from this hand even though i've got a feeling we're beat.

we're behind QQ, 66, 99, KQ &amp; K9 &amp; K6 (less likely) and JT

the turn is scary because he bets so weak (show of strength?)

and the push indicates that he likes his hand a lot.

Does noone like a follow up bet on the turn for about half the pot as well?

it seems that against an unknown in this situation that the best line would be to control the size of the pot.

this is exactly how i felt..

yeah i c/c turn because i wanted to keep pot small..

on the river i was thinkg about betting half pot and folding to a push, but then i thought he might pusha lone K if i only bet half pot..

I'm firing at turn here 100% of time. You have TPTK, and his call on flop usually represents a queen, nine, or a straight draw. Make him pay to catch up to you. If he has KQ he will almost always raise turn, and then it's easy for you to get away. On river I'm not looking for ways to fold my hand. If he has a full house or straight pay him off. You're winning in this situation at these stakes almost 1/2 the time, and you're getting 3-1.
