Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 9:s, 9:h.
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.04, MP2 folds, Hero calls $0.04, 3 folds, BB checks.
OK, I could have raised pre-flop.
Flop: ($0.14) T:s, 8:c, 9:c (3 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets $0.04, Hero raises to $0.16, BB folds, MP1 calls $0.12.
His bet looked like a block-bet to me, so I put him on a draw of some kind.
Turn: ($0.46) 4:h (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero raises to $0.70(All-In), MP1 calls $0.70.
I figured if he's chasing something and hits it on the river I would have to call anyway, but if he doesn't, he wouldn't put more money to the pot. So I decided to go all-in here.
River: ($1.86) 6:s (2 players)
Final Pot: $1.86.
Results follow:
Hero shows three of a kind, nines(9s 9h).
MP1 shows a straight, queen high(Js Qs).
MP1 wins with a straight, queen high(Js Qs).
The question is how do you play on a board like this, where the opponent could easily be chasing something or have a hand that you beat (like two pairs or TPGK or even a smaller set), but it's also possible to have something that beats you?
Thanks.
