Poker Stars, $4 Buy-in (25/50 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

CO: 8,800 (176 bb)
BTN: 9,895 (197.9 bb)
Hero (SB): 19,270 (385.4 bb)
BB: 4,522 (90.4 bb)
UTG: 14,390 (287.8 bb)
MP: 22,533 (450.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9 9
4 folds, Hero raises to 150, BB calls 100

Flop: (300) T 6 2 (2 players)
Hero bets 175, BB calls 175

Turn: (650) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets 400, Hero calls 400

River: (1,450) 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets 550, Hero calls 550

BB is 40/22 over 143 hands.

This is an Action Hour tournament, hence the super deep stacks.

Pre is pretty standard imo.

On the flop I decided to cbet for value. Smaller pairs and the few draws that are out there can certainly call me, and this guy can probably even call with some random A high or whatever.

I'm not sure if I have another value bet on the turn, so I decided to check/call instead. I think check/folding is way too weak on this safe turn card, because when I check to him he's probably going to bet almost 100% of the time.

On the river pretty much all draws miss. The only draw that gets there is 89, which I obviously block with my 99. So I think my 99 here is going to be pretty good if he decides to barrel here with his busted draws or complete air (like random A highs that he decides to go nuts with). Of course he could also have me beat, but I think I'm going to be good here pretty often.

Thoughts? Can we consider value betting the turn again? Or can we consider folding the river?

I prefer a bet on the turn cause you keep initiative and don't fold out many hands that you beat. Then I check the river and from the way the hand has been played you should get plenty of check backs even from hands that beat you. So c/f river is fine imo, cause he bets river with a strong range after you have barrelled 2.

When you c/c the turn, you have to call the weak river bet imo, and expect his range to be medium Tx and busted draws.

Hey Tino =)

Preflop:
Standard imo!

Flop:
nh!

Turn:
I would most likely second barrel. This is the only way of getting another street of value from draws. Otherwise you risk to give out a free river card for your opponent.

River:
As played you have to call imo. As you already said: All draws busted and therefore he has a lot of bluffs in his range. Besides that I can only think of very few hands that are in front against us. These are especially Tx hands. Questionable if he would bet two streets with hands like JT. So it basically comes down to AT which isn't a lot considering the possible bluff hands.

nh imo!

Regards,
Asaban
