ok, here are my thoughts.
the bet on the turn just seemed very suspicious. i didn't believe he had the 9. if he didn't have it, i had 6 overcards to beat him (it's impossible for my overcard outs to not be good if he has no 9 but is beating me with a pair at the moment). i clearly had odds to draw to 6 outs getting 11-to-1, so why not raise?
it really makes a lot of other hands fold, some that might even be best!! it also gives me great fold equity, and i set myself up for a free showdown on the river when i miss (i honestly thought there was a decent chance i had the best hand against the guy heads-up).
i also planned on folding to a three-bet, since that would mean he clearly had the 9 and it would be chip spewing to pay 2 more bets to find out.
well, the plan worked. three guys folded, he just called. the river bricked, he checked, i checked behind.
unfortunately, i chopped it with A-Q offsuit.
(now i'm going to be results-based and start bluffing that river with ace-high, which is a horrendous move but it might force him off a tying hand in the future!!!!!!!!!!111one)
