Final Board: 4 9 7 T 8

Hero mucked 7 7 and lost (-$4.75 net)

I was considering he have set of 99. I usually check-raise turn, but the timing and beting on turn he did, I was quite sure he is ahead somehow, that is why I only called hoping to hit a full house, when river is worst in history of rivers I folded.

Like I say usually this is flop, or even turn re-raise, but the fact he did snap raise and made it bigger I was considering I am quite behind....

What you guys think?

It was zoom, no relevant stats...

Hi DjolusVicenus,

Why slowplay the flop vs such a small bet?

Put in a small raise and get the pot building started. I would raise to $2-$2.25 and you can induce a lot on a dry flop.

As played you can raise the turn, he still has overpairs and now draws in his range and unfortunately that river is terrible so a fold is fine.

Hi judge,

what do you mean by 'we can induce a lot' on a dry flop?

Hey Marlie,

I feel that when he bets this small and we were to raise on a dry flop such as this we can get him to make some spewy plays occasionally or light calls (thus we induced some plays from him) while we get value from the top part of his range.
