@ Outlaw, Carroters: Get your own fish :P
OK, so more analysis. Kthx.
I was probably more confused about this hand than I should have been. I will analyze this hand as it should clear things up.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands Replayer

BB ($26.30)
UTG ($30.45)
Hero (MP) ($45.45)
CO ($41.65)
Button ($40.60)
SB ($17.40) - Villain is your standard 44/23 fish. Passive with a 40% fold to cbet.
Preflop: Hero is MP with 9 , 9
1 fold, Hero bets $1, 2 folds, SB calls $0.90, 1 fold
Flop: ($2.25) 8 , 5 , 7 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2, SB calls $2
Again, fish doesn't fold to many cbets. His range is probably decently wide here, something like: {JJ-99,66,AT+,A8-A7,KJ+,JT,T9s,97s+,76s,65s,54s}. Value bet ftw.
Turn: ($6.25) 4 (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks
I feel this card hit his range harder than most would think. I am probably behind his continuing range here since I'm only really beating 8x. I'm giving villain a continuing range of: {JJ-99,66,A8s,T8s+,98s,76s,65s,54s}. There's a ton of two-pair type hands that beat me here now so I choose to check the turn, re-evaluate the river, and possibly get some river value out of hands that definitely wouldn't have called my turn bet. Is this the right play? Is villain's assigned continuing range OK?
River: ($6.25) Q (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2, SB calls $2
Villain checks the river as well. Villain would be trying to get value from his straight/two-pair type hands here on the river. I may have let Qx catch-up, but there probably weren't too many of those hands that called the flop anyway. That leaves me with the one-pair hands that will probably only call a small bet.
I'm pretty sure I played this hand OK...there probably wasn't much value in betting the turn. Position helped me win this hand as I get a lot of information from villain's river check that I would not have had OOP. Position ftw.
