I may be too tight, but I just call the flop. The rest of the hand just plays it's self.

i don't like the 3-bet on the flop. you only have top pair with a decent kicker. you also won't know where you're at if the turn brings an ace or a king.call the raise on the flop, check-raise the turn, call a possible three-bet (you might be up against a set).check-call the river since any 10 beats you.aseem

Preflop: OKFlop: Fine. Wouldn't like calling here b/c CO could be semi-bluffing or raising with something like A9 or A5 to see where he's at.Turn: Don't like the 3-bet here. CO Raise is no longer a draw. He either made his straight or has trip 9's or 5's. Yes, he would play a set that strongly on the flop with two hearts on the board and straight possibilities (Q9 on the board). I call here.River: Check/Call.

I also would check/call the riverThere's 4 to a straight out there now

Gotta check/call the river. Too much out there that beats you (And you were so worried about CO that you completely ignored MP, who for some reason is still hanging around).I also don't like the turn 3-bet. CO is still raising even after your show of strength on the flop, so he's obviously pretty confident in whatever he has (Set of nines, maybe?). And of course, MP's still being in the hand should be in your mind as well. So just call that raise.

Thanks for the insight and replies. CO = QTo pretty aggressive for just top pr but made his str8 to winMP1 = 99 slow played his 9's to second best hand.

IMO, nothing in his betting pattern indicated that the CO held QT. His aggressive play would definately be noted by me, and help me read him better.
