villian is pretty solid player, no major reads. how do you respond to the turn check raise? if the river is a deuce would you make the same play. this looks like jt, but maybe a set not sure.

looks fine.....

if the river was a blank I would probably c/c for my stack (this is better than leading for your stack)

Could be anything, but he's likely very behind...

AJ, JT, or even more likely, pocket pair of J or T... However, you can be fairly certain that he's likely VERY behind one you spiked your set.

But if he's solid, as you say, the idea of him calling a raise in his position with Q9 is a very non-solid play... even though, your raise was rather small for your hand, IMO.. And even though I personally love Q9 (because of an inside joke that happened at a casino once that's entirely too long to explain here), I don't even know if I could call a raise from a person UTG... I generally give respect to an UTG raise.

What's possibly even more critical here is what does HE think YOU have... most likely he's got you on an AK or if he has a set, he possibly put you on an overpair... but he doesn't seemed concerned about the A if that's the case...

Bet and extract as much as you can.
