FullTilt $1/$2Preflop: econ_tim2 folds, MP1 raises, econ_tim 2 folds, Button calls, 2 folds, MP1 calls.Flop: (10.5 SB) [5d 9h 8s]MP1 checks, econ_tim calls.[b]Turn: (11 BB) [4h]MP1 checks, [b]econ_tim calls, Button calls.[b]River: (20 BB) [6s]MP1 checks, econ_tim checks, Button checks.Final pot: 20 BBThe turn c/r from MP1 made me think he was slow playing a set, most likely 9s, but I would have to be pretty sure to fold.On the river, thought he might want to c/r.

Looks good, you cant go crazy with AA.
The path
of the righteous man is beset on
all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil
men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the
valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder
of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

I would have folded the turn after MP1 checked/3 bet.

That would be too tight for this table, although probably appropriate at higher limits.

You are folding that turn...are you NUTS!!! Look at the pot. If you fold that turn with that card might as well just cap every street and fold on the river to check check.If anything I would have capped the turn as well.Bet the river, if he check raises again then call him down. I doubt anyone is in there with a 7 unless it's 7 7, you are most likely up against QQ or KK. I don't think a set of 9's would play it any different on that flop and turn then a person hold QQ or KK. Any set is a possible holding as well but I would still bet every chance I could with that board.

You nailed it. The Button had KK and MP1 had QQ.

dont lead that turn.and stop using results based thinking.after the flop gets capped you have to check/call this one.folding would be horrible.
i saw him at the riverbank. he was breaking bread and giving thanks. with crosses made of pipes and planks. leaned up against the nitrous tanks.
he said take a hit. hold your breath and i'll dunk your head. then when you wake up, you'll be high as hell and born again.

How could I base my play on the hands they held? They didn't show their cards until the end. Also, I think leading the turn is OK, because maybe guy ahead of me could have a set, but I don't think the Button would cold call three bets with a medium pair. The capped flop doesn't convince me I'm behind.I guess the scariest cards are [Ah Kh] and [Ah Qh]

I don't think you understand what results based thinking is.Results-based thinking is "My bet on the turn was correct because in this particular hand my opponents held KK and QQ."

Typically opponents cap a flop with something more than than an overpair.That's why you check/call after that flop.As Absolute said, folding this hand would be simply horrible.
