    Default too passive?

    This guy is 9/1 over 100+ hands. All I can really see him having here is ak or a set. Is this line ok or do i need to be more aggressive, where and why.

    Can someone explain what the 9/1 means? I've seen this used in a lot of topics and still haven no idea what it means.

    Man i think that if you are going to slow play this hand then you need raise the river here and that way you get extra money, because after you call the whole way i think he is calling a raise off the river with tptk or kq and also if he did have a set then that river card could be a scare card and would possible push him off his hand.

    First, Greedo is not trying to slowplay his aces. He is afraid that this tight-ass villian might have a set, and is trying to control the pot size and get to showdown relatively cheaply. Secondly, this guy is NOT folding a set to a river push, that's just ridiculous.

    About the hand, I like it. If you really feel that strongly you are beat, I don't mind just dumping it on the turn. But if you call the turn, you have to call the river. I probably just hope for AK and make a crying call, although I think you're beat.

    Think this guy plays for stacks with AK on a Kxx board? If he would play it passive post-flop too then I think you have to raise it up on the flop for information and to protect against the 3rd guy. Intend to check behind on a laster street.

    That being said, I think your line isn't too bad. Heads-up it would be perfect, it's just what to do about the other guy hanging around...
