PokerStars - $1.29+$0.21|15/30 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

Hero (BB): 1,690
UTG: 1,460
UTG+1: 1,780
UTG+2: 1,380
MP: 1,430
MP+1: 1,340
CO: 1,470
BTN: 1,450
SB: 1,500

SB posts SB 15, Hero posts BB 30

Pre Flop: (pot: 45) Hero has 9:d 8:d

fold, fold, UTG+2 calls 30, fold, fold, fold, fold, SB calls 15, Hero checks

Flop: (90, 3 players) 2:d A:h 6:d
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+2 bets 30, fold, Hero calls 30

Turn: (150, 2 players) 6:h
Hero bets 120, UTG+2 calls 120

River: (390, 2 players) 9:s

Hero checks, UTG+2 checks

Hero shows 9d 8d (Two Pair, Nines and Sixes) (Pre 33%, Flop 38%, Turn 18%)
UTG+2 shows 8:s A:s (Two Pair, Aces and Sixes) (Pre 67%, Flop 62%, Turn 82%)
UTG+2 wins 390

This hand is one of those marginal situations where I very often dont get the long end of the stick.. is the play correct or not? Should I have bet the river? After he called the turn (I'm trying to represent trips here) what is the correct play?

Hi all,

Just lead the flop rather than check/calling. As played when he bets 30 into 90 I'd prefer a raise as I feel he usually doesn't have a particularly strong hand when he does that.

As played the turn is really bad for us. I feel a lot of his weaker hands are a random 6. I'd prefer just checking and evaluating based on his bet sizing.

River's well played. He's NEVER folding better hands vs a river bet here.
