Speaking is not always a good idea in live games

I was thinking about this hand tonight as it has probably happened to me 4 or 5 times in my poker career.

1/2 NL at Turning Stone

Battle for the blinds...

Hero is dealt J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero checks, SB checks.

Flop 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks, hero checks.

Turn 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hero checks, SB bets $5, hero calls.

River J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero checks (hoping for bluff or bet from 9 obviously), SB in stupid sophisticated voice explains that he doesn't think I have the jack, so he is going to bet his 9. SB bets $10, hero insta-mucks.

The SB proceeded to show his 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and received compliments from around the table for his acting job. The moral of this story: Hitting a big hand doesn't mean you have to be a cocky [censored].

I'm never folding my top boat here for 5bb.

So you check preflop, and SB checks behind. So SB checks the flop, and you check behind. So you check the turn and call a bet. And you check/fold the river.

Does not compute at all.

how'd u both check preflop and how'd he get to go first on the flop?

Very strange hand, the action makes no sense, and seems to be mostly BBV material.
