MP is unknown.

Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (5 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP raises, Button calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP bets, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (5 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero calls.

River: (7 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets, Hero?

What do you think so far?

What do you do on the river?

Thanks,
Cartman

Why are we not check-raising this flop?

hey cartman,

while i really, really don't like that Q, i don't trust avg 10/20 monkeys to stop betting just b/c the board got a bit ugly, so I call.

So the villain has AJ?

Standard. Easy river fold -- other than AJ or AT (and you have a T in your hand) it's pretty hard to put him on a hand you beat.

AJ/AT/A8/A6/PPs below 9?

Maybe the river should be a fold, but i've been getting a bit too caught up in "villain bet all 3 streets so he must have made a hand!" to realize that many of these monkeys will just keep firing.

I'd like to know this too.

I think calling this river is pretty horrible.

this is what happens when you play like a sissy and dont C/R the flop

since you didnt I'd assume you are behind most times, not that many players are going to bet again with AJ or AT, so i fold
