No reads yet, unknown player. Don't worry about the odd bet sizes, its a habit ive gotten into for some reason. Thoughts?

I would have to fold this. If you think about the range of hands he might have, just about anything except for TT and something like 98. It seems unlikely to me that he's playing smaller pocket pair that didn't hit. The flush and straight comepleted on the river w/ that 9d. You'll have to let go.

I don't like this hand at all

If you're willing to go broke on it - put all your money in on the turn. At that point you're pushing 1200 into a pot that has grown into a HUGE pot on a very draw heavy board...

lets see here....like 850 or something? Push your 1200 in to the pot of 850 and take it down here!

FWIW, there are many other lines here I would be o.k. with and like, but if you're going to go broke on the hand, do it on the turn rather than risk the river and price yourself into calling even more of your chips off when you may (possibly for the frist time, though maybe not) be behind.;

i agree with putting your money in on the turn. the only lines i like are checking the turn and hoping he checks or shoving turn and making him pay. i find at these levels too many players will risk their whole stacks on these draws, and that river was just terrible. check it and shut down or shove turn and make him PAY.

[Snarf]

agreed - on the turn you go into "for the love cheap showdown" mode maybe check/calling or maybe block betting...

or shove...

[TravestyFund]

The best line has to be a turn shove with this draw-heavy board and two opponents still involved. This pot is very important this early in the tournament for you. By the turn, if I'm over the board, I'm more than likely putting as much pressure as possible on the vilains.
