25-50 vs Boosted

25-50 on stars. boosted and i have been lagging it up as usual raising lots of pots in early position and being naturally agressive postflop. normally i reraise this preflop but for some reason i decided to nit it up and play for pot control against a possible KK and AA preflop.

effective stacks of $6,200ish

boosted opens to $200 UTG, daut44 kinda nitty straightforward player calls in MP and I call in SB with QQ BB folds

($650) K 9 5 w. flush draw

I check
Boosted bets $500
daut folds
I call

($1650) K

($1650) K
I bet $1222
Boosted shoves for ~$4,000 more

I figure a king is impossible but AA is a pretty huge part of his range when he shoves river.

puke, but seems like a relatively easy fold

this is a tough river decision. I would fold this v. boosted though, as he shoves a lot of rivers with nutted hands. It would be a very brave bluff for him to bluff here, therefore it's more likely for value, and I think he has AK, AA far too often to make this call profitable.

EDIT: Flush draw on flop (meaning AK more likely to bet turn) makes this a call.

Probably fold. From boosted's point of view, you have a K way too often here to make this worth bluffing. And the only thing you beat is a bluff.

trust me he has AK never

AA i am scared of

Grimmy,

What about 1010/JJ looking for a hero call for your 9x hand?

[dlpnyc21]

whoops, didn't see frush draw on flop...you're definitely correct he has AK way less often. This would actually tilt his handrange into making a call.

im instacalling here. why cant he have JJ or TT?

[RollinHand]

He'd never put you on queens that's for sure.

i'd rather check the river here, sometimes CRAI and sometimes check call
