Satellite Final Table- Awkward Spot

[redsoxsalty]

Top 4 get seats. SB is a thinking player, and hasn't done anything crazy in the few hands I've played with him. MP2 is extremely erratic and not a good player. I've played with him for a while and know that he's not limping TT+, AQ+ in that spot, but that any other two cards are possible. Haven't played with UTG+1 at all.

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

SB checks, Hero... <font color="blue"> If this was a rainbow board, I'd lead the bellybuster here more often than not. With this type of board and a calling station at MP2, I'll still lead it, but not as frequently. In this particular spot, I checked with the intention of check-raising or just seeing a free card. Thoughts? </font>

Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks.

<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t600</font>, Hero <font color="blue"> This was a confusing street for me, mostly because of my table position. If I was one on one with the SB, I'd raise every time. Is this a fold with two players behind? </font> calls t600, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls t600.

River: (t2700) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t1175</font>

<font color="blue"> Terrible river. I feel that this is an easy fold, but if a non-club 9 comes down, what's my play? I'm pretty sure SB would pot it with a Q in his hand, and would have led the flop with a K. If I figure I'm ahead, do I just call or raise with one bad player behind me? Am I totally wrong and any 9 is a fold? What about a total brick?[/color}

I think any 9 is a fold on this river, and I think you're mentality is right throughout.

fold turn, with two people behind. If you were set on playing his hand, you should of raised here.
