I'm not sure if I should have been getting a raise in there somewhere or not, especially on the river. Comments?

why didn't you bet the flop?

I felt like it was pretty close to a WA/WB situation against a really tight range. Also I thought I could get more value by provoking a turn bet from hands that missed the flop without getting in too big of a pot against a bigger ace.

Or should I expect to get called down by something like TT for multiple streets here?

you could probably get 2 streets in against TT or somewhere in there. i still bet flop, and if he donks into me on turn i call, same with river.

In fullring I like checking flop, but not sure in shorthanded. WA/WB here is less frequent in 6max.

Unless ur dealing with people who c/r a lot i bet this 99%.

you definitely can get value from people in 6max here by cbetting. its almost MORE suspicious to check on such a dry board with low cards + an ace. you should already be cbetting so much in 6 max that you will be called by

- a pair of fours or nines
- many pocket pairs

because nobody believes you. but you also should be firing a lot on turns too, even when you missed based on boards. So you have probably 2 streets of value and a check/call river.

edit: Misread the hand, thought we had 2pr at the end.

i dont raise river fnord, the guy is a 16/9 and this looks like Ax better kicker. Were vtowning ourselves most of the time.

well he only has a AF of 1. i would be a little surprised if he bet a 9 here especially two streets with that K, and our kicker sucks obv. i agree with ISF that this is a Ax better kicker. the bottome line is betting flop makes this a whole hell of a lot easier.
