What about the rest of this? Is there anything I can do to keep the pot smaller? Villian was pretty laggy. Like 35/18/3.5 if I remember right.

Turn bet looks fine, maybe slightly larger. I really would be tempted to call this river, easily could be a bluff since he probably puts you on an overpair since you raised out of the blinds and doesn't think you can call on that board. But very dependant on the player and timing tells, etc.

What do you put him on that you are folding to? 9 x? This isn't an easy fold at all because it's a great spot to bluff. I'm not sure whether I'd call or not but I'd definitely think about calling.

I agree that this isn't an 'easy' fold. Depending on Villain i would consider a call. Tough hand though definitely. I can't put him on a 9 either than 89 or 9h10h.

Hmm..tough tough tough. Somone help!

I feel I got bluffed. When he pushed the river it just struck me as one of those shitty situations where a move looks so much like a bluff but when you call you get shown the nuts even though you can't put him on a hand.

I guess my biggest mistake was not running through the list of possible nines he could have in my head. I think if I had done that I would have called.

My turn bet was small because I was afraid I was gonna get raised again and I didn't want to have to call a push. I think I'm playing scared everytime I go back up to 200NL.

Don't make the big laydown with the set you were hoping to hit. Busted flush, two pair, overpair along with your "I'm a little bit scared" turn bet will prompt somebody to do this. Plus, what's your image? I assume it's tight. Villain most likely knows you can lay down a hand and if you were sure of your hand, you would have bet more on the turn.

However, if you aren't comfortable with stacking off here then a fold is fine. Get your money in later when you have the best of it. If he turns over the nuts here, I think psychologically it may mess with your head.

Yeah, what are the plausible 9x hands here? I guess 89. Ick. I think this is a crying call, esp. against 35/18.

why do you think he would raise the turn? if he has a monster he usually wouldnt slowplay it on such a draw heavy board. the only hands he would do that with are 45h and maybe 77...

i think he usually has a flush draw with overs or something like 65 or 78 here alot. so i would bet $100ish on the turn, and fold the river.
