Preflop is iffy when you could be paying 3 to see a flop and only have set value.

Bet that damned flop, you have a monster on a somewhat dangerous board--no point checkraising since you'll get action anyway (well, usually)

Cap the turn, lead the river and call a raise. If MP1 has TT then so be it.

I didn't read the results, but don't post them anyway--skews replies.

Oh, and flop another 9.

(edit: wait, God I'd hope he has JQ, didn't notice the board paired. Hell I may 3-bet the river now.)

you posted this hand poorly. you played it fine.

i mean every street looks pretty normal to me.

Dont get fancy on the flop. Bet and hope that someone raises you.

Ack, this turn sucks. You got trapped and there are two strong draws on the board. If you would have bet the flop you may not have been in this position here. But you cant let go of your hand. So its ok.

River you got a full house and a possible straight and flush completed their draws. I think the check raise is fine, someone will bet here.

i only think i might find questionable is the preflop call, but that would depend on reads on MP3. The rest looks ok to me.

Fold PF unless the best of reads. Cold calling just isn't right after a raise and a reraise. Bet the flop! with all that aggression PF you are bound to get raised so you can 3 bet. Rest of the hand I play the same.

yes.

you'll c/r this flop about 90-95% of the time and you'll get more bets later by check raising it than betting it and 3-betting a raise.

if i wake up after the turn action i expect the turn capper to just call with a straight. but i expect him to bet if i check, and i can c/r with the other guy trapped. i expect to be able to c/r the river a ton more than i will be able to bet and 3-bet it.

Ok, I can dig the flop line, but I don't think I'm ever going to check my River Boat, and watch it get checked through. I would be hoping someone hit the flush, and want's to go to war.

PF was 3-bet and the turn was capped. Hero is first to act. I would think that these are the ultimate opportunities to go for a c/r on the flop and river.
