Any reads? Any analysis of your own?

Sorry little lazy. *slaps self*

Ok well arguing on another forum (gasp) about my flop check.

"I checked to keep in worse Ax and pairs, and other random stuffz. Cos i checked flop agree i have to call turn raise. Now on river tho do we think he bets with enoug hands we have beat here ?"

"Yeah his fold to Cbet is low so i would normally cbet except this flop is paired. Dont want the 99 to scare off his weak aces and pairs."

His weak aces will not be scared and judging by our "reads" of him not folding often to cbets, he'll be more likely to call with a lower PP.

Betting or checking flop is fine here imo. Your obviously not worried about your hand, and enough worse hands will call that you should likely cbet for value, especially if he has a low fold to cbet % and you expect him to peel light/float often. I'd be more apt to check like A8/AT/AJ/KK/etc type hands here.

If we are betting flop, I likely check/call most turns here if he floats often, or is prone to betting worse hands without a reason (like if he bets 77 if we check turn). If he is still likely to peel all of his Ax type hands, and some lower pps, then EV of a check and the EV of a bet is probably pretty close.

If we are checking flop I might play the hand the same as you, unless he's the type of player to raise stuff like weaker Ax hands on the turn. I don't think check/calling the river is atrocious, as he isn't likely to have a better Ace, and 9x, 88, is such a small part of his range. If he is bluffing any % of the time then a call could very well be +EV.

bet flop for value
as played you're looking incredibly weak by the river - weaker aces are a big part of his river betting range = call

betting flop makes life easier and gets u more moniez
