very interesting hand, what site is this on? As long as you would play an AK type hand this way as well, I like it. But, is there anything wrong with raising the turn for a free SD here?

haven't played with mr. bull dance a chair on TV in a while but if i remember how he plays correctly (which is not always the case) id say call this one down. there are many ways for himt o have an 8 and he would play it that way for sure some of the time. if you feel the 9 will freeze him up enough then go ahead and raise and check behind. hands like these could demoralize him if indeed he has the 8 and doesn't bet the river...

which brings up the next point, raising here doesn't guarantee a showdown. it does guarantee AT LEAST the same # of bets go in. so you need to have a feel for his river bluffing tendencies and i think that in this hand if you raise him on the turn it will likely freeze him up rather than spur him on like on other baords where his holdings are more of a threat and there are no overcard draws (3betting on turns like these too freequently will get you called by overcards b/c they have now the correct price. i dont know if this applies to our friendly neigborhood tv attention junky but if im about to bet/3bet the turn as a semi or total bluff, i use the board texture as a determinant in the decision making process (he may not use that in his process so who knows whether it *really matters in a spot like this). the pairing o fthe 9s is also good b/c it makes a 9 less likley and from what i remember he may 3bet 66-77 some of the time from the bb.

anyways, the turn play is imo vv close against dan.

I don't consider folding. He has a pair + draw tonnes here, you're ahead of more pairs than you're behind, and you also just counterfeited 76. Only question is if raise and VB river is better, IMO.

An even better Q is who started the Cold War btwn you and Qwertu?

I think I can call the turn vs Kuta and make him fire again on the river.
