Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is Button with 9c 9h
4 folds, MP3 calls t50 (pot was t75), CO calls t50 (pot was t125), Hero calls t50 (pot was t175), SB calls t25 (pot was t225), BB checks.


Flop: 9d Qs Kd (t250, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP3 checks, CO checks, Hero bets t300, SB calls t300 (pot was t550), 3 folds.


Turn: Jd (t850, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.


River: Ts (t850, 2 players)
SB bets t350, Hero ??

I feel like I should have thrown out a bet on the turn and played it too conservative. Is it okay to call the river though the way it was played?

Honestly I cannot believe that the SB has an Ace for the straight the way the hand was played. There was no raise preflop. If he had an Ace, then he could possibly have AK or AQ which should be hands you raise with. A9 is possible. J/10 is also possible. By you checking the turn shows some kind of weakness, your definitely scared of the flush and even possible straight, but I think you still gotta pust some kind of bet out there on the turn to find out about where you're at because now your decision is that much harder on the river. Anyway, it almost seems like the river bet is a steal or maybe he has 2 pair, though he could have you beat right now. I'd probably call, but that's because I'm a donk sometimes too and a POW.

That's the way I see it. You're down to 750 if you lose (more than likely you will. lol), so that just means that my next premium hand I'm pushing preflop allin.
