Sorry, no converter.Holdem Multi Normal Tournament No Limit $20 *** ***Seat 4 – P $2770 in chipsSeat 5 - J $2415 in chipsSeat 6 - G $10240 in chipsSeat 7 - ROCKETWAD $2025 in chipsSeat 8 - A $2485 in chipsSeat 9 - H $660 in chipsSeat 1 - L $5475 in chipsSeat 2 - M $1365 in chipsSeat 3 - S $2005 in chipsP- Post small blind $20J - Post big blind $40Just got moved to this table, so no information on any players.ROCKETWAD - Pocket [9d,9c] G - FoldsROCKETWAD - Raises $40 to $160A - Folds H - FoldsL - Calls $160M - FoldsS - FoldsP- Calls $140J - Calls $120Good enough hand for a 4X BB raise, no? No respect for the new guy though, as I have 3 callers.*** FLOP [4c,Kd,7d] ***P- ChecksJ - ChecksROCKETWAD - Bets $280L - Calls $280P- FoldsJ - FoldsNot a bad flop for my hand, with only one overcard. Put in a fairly standard continuation bet of slightly less than half the pot. Only one caller.*** TURN [4c,Kd,7d,10s] ***ROCKETWAD - ChecksL - ChecksNow what do I do? Opponent didn't bet, so it looked like a flush draw to me, or perhaps a bad king hand. Should I be betting here?*** RIVER [4c,Kd,7d,10s,Kh] ***ROCKETWAD - ChecksL - ChecksSame with river. King paired, so figured I was good, but didnt think that any hand I could beat would call my bet, so why put one in?*** SHOW DOWN ***[size=7]ROCKETWAD - Show cards [9d,9c] L - Lost mucks

I think I would try to milk a little on the river. Your villain may have AX like AQ, AJ, or smaller pocket pairs. Because of your inconsistent bets on the flop and turn, your villain may be likely to call a smallish bet on the river thinking you may have AX or smaller pocket pairs than his. This is not a way-ahead-or-way-behind situation. A value bet is in place on the river.
