Action on River ($5/10 B&M Play)

[ATrebek]

$5/10 Kill Game in a B&M casino

Hero is BB with A9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]s

UTG folds, UTG+1 Raises
UTG+1 is a tricky but somewhat too loose player, probably the second or third best sitting.

Folded around to Hero in BB (amazingly enough...) Hero Calls.

Flop comes 9, rag, rag rainbow, 1 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Beatiful flop for our hero.

Hero bets, villan calls.

Turn is the Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero Bets, villan calls.

River is the K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero...?

Hero has no particular reason to suspect a flush or other big hand.

IF

1) hero bets and villan raises, hero...?

2) hero checks and villan bets, hero...?

Results:

I bet and probably bet/fold here in less you think villian is capable of a bluff raise.

[knicknut]

b/f seems like a good play to me.

Do you think UTG+1 will continuation bet? Why not c/r the flop to force UTG to face 2 (and to see if UTG+1 freebets? Just an idea.

If you can't fold to a raise, check/calling seems like a better option. Against a more straightforward opponent, it waivers between bet/fold and check/fold.
