usually, I wouldn't try to isolate from here with less than KTs, but CO and BU looked so tight/nitish, than I decided to give it a try
UTG calls 1 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 5 BB, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 4 BB
Flop: (11.5 BB, 2 players) 9♠ 6♣ T♣
Thoughts:
Spoiler
well, no point of cbetting here with an one card gutshot + an overcard in this board, IMHO.
UTG checks, Hero checks
Turn: (11.5 BB, 2 players) 6♦
UTG checks, Hero bets 5.5 BB, UTG calls 5.5 BB
Thoughts:
Spoiler
but when villain checked twice, I decided to try to steal the pot
River: (22.5 BB, 2 players) T♥
Thoughts and questions:
Spoiler
at this point, my hand was worthless. If I checked behind, I'd loose 100% of the times, so I opted for continuing to bluff.
WTF was I representing here? A weak T that hadn't cbeted OTF? Maybe 65s, 76s?
Would villain fold AX hands, smaller pocket pairs or even 9X to that bet?
UTG checks, Hero bets 14.5 BB, fold
Spoiler
Hero wins 21.5 BB
