J9s steal (4handed)

All in all I would say standard, except for possibly raising the flop. If the river is a blank, and he bets I would call, and if he checks I would bet.

I can't fault a raise on any street but I like it as played, also.

I'd raise for a free SD on the turn. You can value-bet if you hit your straight. If he is very observant, he might reraise you though, because you did a similar thing during the last orbit. That pushes me towards a simple call-down. But the board is very coordinated so it takes guts for him to reraise here. Therefore I'd still raise the turn.

i'd prob raise the flop before calling down. if i didn't raise the flop, I'd play it the same. i don't want to fold this hand or pay 4 BB's on the last two streets.

yeah i mistyped the other hand, obviously one of the other cards was a spade. the point was that he had a flush draw on that turn.

villain nearly timed out on the river before calling with 55.

I'd generally raise the flop. It is the kind of board where you will get call downs from all kinds of hands thinking that you are FOS. I played a hand pretty bad in a 30 game last night on a board such as this one. I just thought he had air and called down with 66 and of couse he had TP2K.

If I called the flop I'm certainly not going to raise the turn.

I don't have anything to add to the actual hand really. Some hypotheticals I'm curious about though (as I'm currently trying to suck less at HU play):

-If we raise the flop and he calls and then c/c the turn, river is a bet right? Because a player this aggro would have put in another bet somewhere with JT or better I assume, BUT it turns out that pretty much every reasonable 9 beats us (A9-Q9 have us outkicked, while 99s-T9s flopped two pair...I guess he could have 79s and pay off though). I don't really think he has a T at all based on the way the hand was played, so even though we're mostly just trying to get bets out of like AJ+, A8, A7, 77 that seems to be the bulk of his range after he gives up that quickly.

-If we raise the flop and it goes call/cr turn then is it a peel and fold or a calldown? I'm thinking peel/fold as this is the "I have a monster" line.

-If we raise the flop and he donks either big bet street do we call down UI? Or peel/fold if he does it on turn? If on the river it seems he donks things like a random J or PP too often to fold.

first question: yes i'd value bet the river. he might call down AK/AQ/AJ along with underpairs and pairs of 8s.

second question: that's kind of the problem. i dont know if he's steaming or not so im pretty committed to showing this down if i raise the flop.

third question: same as #2, yeah i'm pretty much showing down.

[ESKiMO-SiCKNE5S]

i like it all

raising the turn wouldnt be terrible either.

i would usually raise the flop. if i called i would sometimes raise the turn. if checked to i would definitely bet the river.

I hate it when I want to respond to a hand and all I can do is quote you.
