you limp with 99?

I'll bet and pay off a stright, unless we have read to do otherwise

Bet that mother. Pay off 8x.

Can a brotha' get a raise pre-flop?
Absolute
Easy value bet.

I raise if im opening.
I also raise if im a bit later.
I thought that might come up... i raise 10's in an unraised pot every time. Likewise, i limp with 8's if someone is limped in front of me unless in late position. 9's are usually where i draw the line for things like that.

I know it's a bet. The options are "bet/fold" or "bet/call". VOTE OR DIE

PS:

He had aces.

ACES BABY!

Bet/Call is pretty automatic here, hands like 2 pair will check/raise that river as well. Checking behind on the river is also really bad, so bet/call is the only play without an incredible read. I'd also raise pre-flop.

Gotta go with bet/call here. I can't really see folding there.

i concur - don't think the clarkmeister applies when your hand is that strong

how does the clarkmeister apply at all when you have position?
Abbaddabba
I thought it specifically referred to hands where there was 4 to a flush on board.

That was my understanding as well

I'm still not exactly sure what the clarkmeister is...
Actuary
the spirit of the Clarkmeister is:

you are hu and oop
the board is very scary and you have a decen hand, but one that is beaten if villan has hit the obvious draw.

you bet/fold the river becaue he will never raise worse hands and he may fold weak hands, like a bad flush if the 4th flush card hit on river.

Better than c/c for those rare times they fold.
