Quick check

[dopp16]

Live 1-2 NL

New room, just sat down. I typically play limit, but this room only spreads no limit. FWIW villian has a pony tail and glasses. Real nerdy so I immediately pin him as a thinking player...I gotta call the river right?

6-handed:

Hero is CO with 9h9c

I open to $16 (standard at this point)

SB calls, BB calls

Flop: Kc 9h 8s

Check to me, I bet $30

SB folds, BB calls

Turn: 5c

Check, I bet $55, Villian calls

River 2c

Villian pushes for $77

Why did you bet 1/2 pot on turn? Maybe it's because I haven't played live, but I am under the assumption that live poker plays like pre-leg PartyPoker. I'd bet $75 on turn and be happy to get it in on any river.

As played, call?

Uh yeah, never fold this, I'm assuming you lost to a back door flush? Sucks but you gotta call here.

Mod's you can move this to BBV now.

The reason for the bet is because I play with SB all the time and know he would standard check raise me with any K in this spot if I bet less than the pot

This is not a beat post, the SB told me after the pot that I should fold in that spot and I thought his logic was ridiculous....SB want to come out of the dark?
