If you like it, great. If you don't, what is the worst hand you value bet on this river?

Why do you like checking behind on the turn? Seems to me he's peeling w/ overs or some type of draw almost always.

I don't hate it...

However, I can't think of any hand in his range that he would call with, so I think checking behind is probably more +EV, because it prevents him from pushing you out with the odd river CR bluff, or, heaven forbid, CR'ing you with a flush that got there.

So what do you bet with on the river?

That's a good question, because I think in the spot, your 99 might as well be the nuts. (So the question then becomes- if I would bet with the nuts (obv), why am I hesitant to bet with 99?)

I need to think about it a bit more.

very well played.

[DonkeyOnTilt]

I play it the same, but I'm more lucky than good, so take that for what its worth.

Let me ask you something first... although it's unlikely, what's your plan if villain pops you here?

Let's say villain check raises to $32. Are you folding 99?

I think if we can work our way backwards to figure out which hands we won't fold to a CR, we can probably narrow down the hands we should be betting with: mid-flushes, a straight, a set of 6s, etc....

I could be totally wrong with this line of thinking, so beware....
