				  Stealing Pots on 9 high flops
			
			
					
						
						
					
					
			
				
					
						When the flop is 9 high, 63% of the time an overcard to the top pair on the flop will fall on the turn or river. I applied this concept in the folloiwng example: 
 
$10 NL  
 
Hand Actions 
Stackin Chips  dealer 
glavon               SB      $ 0.05 
Jawz                  AJd 
kingtut24        Call   $ 0.10 
canuhandle     Fold 
Jawz                  Raise $ 0.40 
Bigapp              Call  $ 0.40 
Stackin Chips Call  $ 0.40  
glavon              Fold 
phatchillin      Call  $ 0.30 
kingtut24        Call  $ 0.30 
pot = $2.05 
 
FLOP:  4 9 3 
phatchillin      Bet  $ 0.10 
kingtut24        Fold  $ 0.00 
Jawz                  Raise  $ 1.85 
Bigapp              Fold 
Stackin Chips Fold 
pot = $5.75 
 
TURN: 6 
phatchillin     Check 
Jawz                 Bet   $ 1.50 
phatchillin     Call  $ 1.50 
pot = $8.75 
 
RIVER: 10 
phatchillin    Check 
Jawz                All-in  $ 5.05 
phatchillin    Fold 
pot = $8.69 
 
Jawz               Mucks Cards 
Jawz               Wins $ 8.69 
 
When my opponent called the flop on this flop I knew he had a pair of nines and punished him for betting such a weak hand on the flop. My point here is that on a nine high flop the aggressor will usually win unless their opponent makes 2 pair or better. If the turn and river card were both lower than ten I would have checked and gave up onthe hand, but this is rarely the case.
