Well this was an interesting hand. First let me explain why I was in this hand at all. Villain was a loose player raising with a wide range. I figured I'd take a stab at him since I had position. The final call still did not come easy though but after considering his line I felt 90% sure he missed a draw or was just trying to steal the pot. I was right!

Edit: Scratch the position comment. I need to focus more!

Nice one, well done. :f_thumbsup: I once pulled a K high hero call in SCOOP. Yeah, sometimes villain is so obvious he has nothing you can call without blinking to these stunts. The main factors that made this decision possible are probably impossible to show in the forum. Way villain was playing in the table, hands he played in a similar way, bet timing, etc. are all factors we notice consciously or unconsciously and help make these decisions.

I got confuse with this:

You need to have good reads if you want to call him down like this. I would consider to 3bet him pre-flop as bluff, because A9o played pretty bad OOP I think and than you can win the pot right away. I only do this line if you know he folds a lot on 3bets on a decent sample.

Sidekick didn’t copy the outcome of the hand, because it’s not interesting to know what the showdown was if you want to discuss about your own play.

Have the same thing in mind SDK1987. Sometimes instinct works better though..
