I´m not wondering about the fold, but the bet. I bet for information, and got the answer that he had a strong hand, so I folded. But was it good play or should I have folded and sved those 60 c?

My issue with calling the A9o is that even when you hit an A is that you can't really play it strongly. I would have put the guy on a semi-bluff flush draw after the weak turn bet and raised him to see if he really had anything.

First up, I think A9o is a fold UTG, it's hard to play if you hit your ace, as demonstrated here.

I'm not so sure that he did have a strong hand, he only called on the flop. He could quite easily be chasing the flush here, so I think the turn is definitely worth at least a call here, if not a raise.

What kinda player was he?

Raise the turn to $1.2. If he had a better kicker, he'll be nervous of calling and if he has two pair he'll push. Also flush draws think about folding here.

I think flat calling is a better option over folding. See how he plays the river. If he weak leads again, pretend like you're calling down with a boarderline hand in limit. :P

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.
