    Default [50NL] A9s...Raise river?

    Villain is 32/12/0 over 26 hands.

    PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    SB: $50.00
    Hero (BB): $61.47
    UTG: $17.90
    CO: $29.01
    BTN: $30.28

    SB posts SB $0.25, Hero posts BB $0.50

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has 9 A

    fold, fold, BTN raises to $1.50, fold, Hero calls $1.00

    Flop: ($3.25, 2 players) 4 9 Q
    Hero checks, BTN checks

    Turn: ($3.25, 2 players) T
    Hero checks, BTN bets $2.00, Hero calls $2.00

    River: ($7.25, 2 players) A
    Hero checks, BTN bets $7.00, Hero ???

    Firtsly, is a fold pre too tight? We have a hand that is usually played for its implied odds and villain is sitting short-stacked but we're probably ahead of his BU raising range as well.

    I think flop and turn are pretty standard, can we raise the river though? Villain decides to pot it and I have no idea what this means. He only has like $19 behind but I'm not sure if we can get called by worse.

    I think he prob cbets w/ any Qx he may have, I think he might play T9 this way, but not too much else. I'm not sure if villain pots it w/ just an Ax hand either thinking he has hit the best hand on the river given I have shown no strength whatsoever.

    Is raising just too thin?

    Pre is a very easy call. My calling range there would probably be something like A8o+ KTo+ QTo+ JTo 22+ 87s+ 97s+ J8s+ Q8s K9s A2s.

    On the river I understand wanting to raise but when he pots it here I think its just too likely that he has exactly AT/TT. It's a very easy call, but I think raising would probably be too thin vs the kind of polarized range he is repping.

    Agree with Renton, after he pots it I would just c/c. Some ppl might even show up with KJ here, and QQQ is also possible.
