I would say fold. You only beat a 9 high hand, if that hand doesn't have a 2, if that hand isn't suited spades, if ....

A bet saved is a bet earned imo.

The right move is to bet the flop or the turn.

I completely agree!

I think the raise pre-flop was a mis-click, because:

1) I would hardly EVER raise out-of-position to a limp in this situation. Why I raised, I have no idea... very weird.

2) If I did raise on purpose (i.e. realized that I had raised), I would have bet this flop >95% of the time. The fact that I did not bet the flop, really leans towards me not thinking/realizing I raised pre-flop... because it was a mis-click.

So, can we pretend I just checked pre-flop...... that would make the check flop/turn make a lot more sense.

Thanks.

I think you have to bet the turn to find out where you are.

[GundamPoker]

1) I think the raise pre-flop was a mistake. I am telling myself it is a mis-click.

2) Multi-tabling is bad, because I believe I hadn't even realized I raise when I checked the flop. With a raise pre-flop, I certainly should lead out on this flop.

3) Once I didn't lead out on the flop (clear mistake), I think checking the turn was fine. I can get a fold by betting the turn, but I also could get a call and/or raise. If I get a raise, I've wasted a bet. If I get a call then I've also likely wasted a bet and not gotten much information. He could call with a draw or have me beat. So, a bet-raise is information but bad, a bet-call is not much information and bad and a bet-fold is good. The pot is not that big. I don't mind giving up with a check-fold. And if it goes check-check, I get better information than a bet-call would give me.

4) Once he checks the turn, I got the information I was looking for on the check-check turn and I call. I mean what could the guy have that has me beat, and yet checks the turn behind on this board?

I paused for a little bit, but it didn't take much time to call here and sweat the possible jack.

(Folks remember this is a HU table, not just 2-handed. So his none-raise pre-flop usually means no paint - no pair.)

The right answer is: "It depends"

[GundamPoker]

The right move is to bet the flop or the turn.

I agree that the right move is the bet the flop, I'm not sure why I didn't bet the flop... very unusual. Once I don't bet the flop, I don't think a bet on the turn is a good move.

How does the SB bet after you check ?
