how did i play this? (Pocket 9s)

[ryans]

Hey all,
Need criticisms on how i played this, note that i have no PT stats coz pt for some reason either does not support this site or does not work with me and this site.

My view:
The dude was pretty agressive and usually just played on tptk, but if he had that he usually bet at nice sizes... also just a couple of hands back he beat me for $25

$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem
10 players

Stacks:
UTG ($90.50)
UTG+1 ($20.90)
UTG+2 ($94.50)
MP1 ($38.45)
MP2 ($99.25)
MP3 ($198.95)
CO ($135.70)
BTN ($37.60)
SB ($78.00)
BB ($27.60)

Pre-flop: ($1.50, 10 players)
3 folds, MP1 calls $1, 2 folds, CO bets $3, BTN calls $3, SB calls $2.50, BB calls $2, MP1 calls $2

Flop: ($15, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP1 checks, CO bets $3, BTN calls $3, SB folds, BB folds, MP1 folds

being on the button i didnt want to give it up plus the same bet of 3 didnt make much sense as he is more agressive than that

Turn: ($21, 2 players)
CO bets $5, BTN calls $5

Again small bet considering the pot, but not sure if he has either of the overcards

River: ($31, 2 players)
CO checks, BTN checks

Was a bit scared of a checkraise.... and this is where my biggest doubt is... was this check the right thing or would YOU have bet?

Final Pot: $31
CO shows:
BTN shows:

K3nt is saying that he isn't calling with a PP lower than yours or Ace high most of the time, so don't bet the river.

IMO, 3-bet preflop. CO opening here is usually not that strong, and could just be trying to steal blinds and limper money. 3-bet to $12.

If you flat this flop, I am probably going to flop the flop here with a call, but I think I like a raise on the turn because of the weak bet...I don't want to give him another free card. Raise the turn to $21.

Edit: changed bold

Aces and kings always scare me in these kinds of situations... if he was little more agressive i would have probably folded... any suggestions to get over it?

Other than a set, i usually fold these... but something just didnt sit right, know what i mean... its just "something"

hmm i see no sense in 3betting the flop
if he folds a weak king you made ur point, but i doubt he will and he wont do it often if u 3bet to 12. Especially since he can level you, you sit in btn, he is betting weakish... super spot to bluff and that's why he's gonna call a lot with a weak king.

ryans, stop playing on a site where u have no pt, especially when u multitable.

i think raising turn to 15... well i'm really not sure. If he has AQ or AJ he has 10 outs, not 6 right.

btw if you bet river, villain MUST -call- you to 50% with worse to make the bet breakeven, the other 50% you can lose or fold to a raise (remember to fold to the raise, you have a medium hand so stop levelling). So why would you bet?
and i think i fold river to smth like a 17$ bet. Leak?

ryan please:
dont even think about including results. It's superhorrible to do that, stop it!

Good point Joss...I meant 3-bet preflop in my post...LOL. I'll go fix it.
