T9s 3-bet pot

I would check river behind. There are many better hands possible and villain can slowplay. By betting small there you will open the action again and he can raise, what do you do then?

After the boards get complicated I prefer seeing free showdown too.

I'm not pretty sure that your opponent won't have JJ-KK -you have to always consider the whole range. Also, that is how the fishes or nitty regs play premium hans - they do small 3b to avoid pushing you out of the hand - they think it will be nuts till the river, that is why they play that way. Anyway, I would bet more on turn to make me commited to the pot and made my river desicion easy. I would, probably, check the river. About stacking on the flop - yes, that is how I did it, but there are some reg-s who delay shove with set to blank turn on the wet board.

I like the thin value bet OTR and how you break down villain's range. WP IMO.

You both forget that higher flushes are possible. ..

Since hero showed strength OTF, villain can be trapping us.
Higher flushes are possible, and what about KJ and QJ that had only 2 pair OTT (will call OTT even if flush came) and now improved to boat OTR.

I would bet a bit more on the turn to set up an easier river shove. This river could be a check behind.

I dont think you have a room for bet/fold so you'd better push the river yourself. Worse hands he can call push with are AT, AdJd, AK, AA, KQ.

I would say AK or AA is not calling a push there. If villain calls our shove, he has more better hands than worse hands. If we shove, we just donate money to those better hands if villain is trapping and if he is not trapping he is not calling our shove. So just check behind.

River: The big question is what you do with your last 35 or so bb if he puts you all in? I mean, you are playing with fire here if you plan to fold, but I don't hate it. Doubt I'd have the bottle to do it myself. So, what is the plan?

+1. Board allows him to have more better hands and by pushing we are facing just them.

Bet turn like 45bb and then shove river.
