You're only gonna get called by a better hand, unless the other guy here is AdmiralDonk. (what's up with this word 'donk' anyway, I've all of a sudden heard it alot, but only from poker players) But you might make a better hand fold. Hell even if he made his flush he might fold here, doubtful but maybe. Maybe he was fishing for overcards? I dont see any other draw he could be calling with except the flush draw, which he check/called. Maybe he's goin for the river check/raise with the flush, after all he is AdmiralDonk. maybe he has a 2 he's not letting go of? I dunno this is half and half, sometimes I'll fire sometimes I'll just check.

Based on his stat's it seems as though he'll fold to that river bet more than 50% of the time so a bet seems prudent.

Hmm well it depends on what hand you put your opponent on:1. Obviously a 9 beats you - he'd have bet that long ago, so this is out2. A two beats you. Calling a raise with a two in your hand, he SHOULD only have either 22 (which he would have bet earlier), or A2s. If he is a passive type, he may be fearing either an overpair held by you for a higher boat.3. Any pair beats you4. Any A beats you5. Any two clubs beat youAlso, he may be concerned about that third 9, and the fact there is a flush possibility on the board. I really think this guy has a two, and is playing it very passively.Id check it, and see if K high takes it.Exception: If your read on your opponent is that he likes to chase (although there isn't much to chase on this board), try a bet.Dev

[KDawgCometh]

I'd fire the third barrell, shit you could very well have the best hand and he could very well pay you off with a worse king, Queen high, or Jack high..JACK HIGH

[RonBurgundy]

if he folds 1 out of 6 times, bet that shiet. and u gotta keep that aggro factor up right?

[wrto4556]

Sounds good folks.There's really not much he could have on this board. He's chasing something quite a bit.I checked behind and he shows KQ and I lose.

Wow I'm getting better at this. Hey what happened with the 9-9 hand against the maniac last night?

Checking behind is best.Its usually A high and you get called down on this board

I called (prrnnnt). UTG called. Then it went check check check check and my hand was good.maniac capped with 93s.

This hand brings up a question that has been bouncing in my head lately.We care about preflop loose/tight (VP$IP), preflop aggression (PFR), and postflop aggression (agg. factor). Why not track postflop loose/tight also? Knowing whether AdmiralDonk tends to call everything all the way down or not is vital to deciding on a bet here. If he calls everything, we check behind and take our medicine. If he tends not to showdown often, I say we fire a third round at him and bluff him.Thoughts?

Yes. We're referring to SB as AdmiralDonk.

Cool. Manic quit betting? Kinda surprises me. As for AdmiralDonk...I named the other guy that. You were CaptainDonk, I figured if he would call you on the river with less than K-10 he must be AdmiralDonk. If you had bet...
