99 on an increasingly scary board
Villains in this hand are all loose-passive to a degree that a raise anywhere would have me insta-muck my hand.
Full Tilt Poker Limit Holdem Ring game Limit: $1/$2 8 players Converter Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 folds, MP2 calls, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, BB calls, MP2 calls. Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (8SB, 4 players) SB checks, BB checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB folds, MP2 calls. Turn: 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5.5BB, 3 players) SB checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, MP2 calls. River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8.5BB, 3 players) SB checks, MP2 checks, Hero... The calls on the turn had me planning on checking behind on the river. Now I have "improved". I don't think anyone got a flush - the usual idea there seems to be to raise the turn. So, is this a thin b/f or should I be happy I survived the hand in one piece? |

Re: 99 on an increasingly scary board
id check. i doubt the villains have a king. they might and just check/call defensively because they fear a flush but i think that if they do have a straight it is with an 8. heads up i would probably bet this.

Re: 99 on an increasingly scary board
I bet.
This is 2 guys drawing with 1 card flush draws a lot. If either had a king they'd surely bet into you fearing that you'll check behind if they check. But then i guess that depends on their image of your play. |

[ QUOTE ]
we no longer have the equity to bet [/ QUOTE ] Hero didn't really have the equity to bet the turn, for that matter. Good spot to check in position and see what the river brings us; with the 9 falling on the river, I'd have called one closing the action, folded to two, and had a hard decision if it was one to me not closing the action (meh, easy call/fold, actually). As played, check behind on the river. Bet/fold sucks because you could get a check/raise out of two-pair + busted FD, and paying more than one bet to show this down sucks more. |

As usual, Boz is right here on all counts.

Re: 99 on an increasingly scary board
I would check the turn but bet the river the way you played it. No passive player is checkraising the river with a hand you beat so you can fold if it happens.

Re: 99 on an increasingly scary board
If you ARE the best hand, what are the chances that you get called by a worse hand on this board? If they'll call w/ Qx Jx yeah I'm throwing a bet in. If not, then check behind.

Bet the river and laugh when AsQ is no goot.
