CO (t16511)
Button (t131993)

I call. He's probably thinking you have absolutely nothing.

BTW why no read?

I call, you'll never see AK. Against some random opponent, I think you usually see hearts and less often you see Kx/44 type hand/9x, but I really don't see people do that w/ 9x that often.

Monday night football+ talking on aim, if i would have looked back through his previous hands i could have gotten a general read but i didnt bother before making my decision so i posted it as no read.

Ok. I am not sure what type of read I would need to find a fold here actually. But I would say w/o a read I definitely call. Villain could think K5 is good here.

This has got to be a call.

You'll see worse K's and big/combo draws here way more often than C/R'ing all-in huge with flopped trips.

i whould defenitly call here, calling a raise preflop with x/9 is not really an option, propably holding k with low kicker, or is drawing to something and thinks you made a c-bet

Thats pretty much a call all day. FWIW, I bet more on the flop and beat him to the pot.
