I folded.. 😁 I didn’t see him calling with A and me blocking it- he was playing pretty wide. But I am guessing with a 3:1 I should of had enough equity to call

Yeah, you will have enough equity from splits with virtually any ace he could have. Given how people play its EZ call even if he has no bluffs.

the player with A4o flopped two pair and turned a full house, but unfortunately, the river card counterfeited his hand. When the opponent bets on the river, the player should consider what hands the opponent could be betting with. The opponent could have a weaker two pair or a missed draw, but they could also have a better hand like a full house or a straight. It's tough to say without any reads on the opponent's tendencies, but given the pot odds, the player could consider making the call for a split pot with any of the opponent's weaker aces.

Preflop, Hero has a weak hand with A4o and decides to raise on the button. This can be a reasonable play in some situations, but it's important to consider the tendencies of the players in the blinds.

On the flop, Hero flops top and bottom pair and bets small, which is a standard play. When the BB calls, they can have a wide range of hands that include one pair, draws, or overcards. Some of the hands that may call on this board include AT, KT, QT, JT, and flush draws.

The turn brings a second nine, which is a bad card for Hero as it decreases the likelihood that their opponent has a weaker ace or a hand like 99. Hero decides to check back, which is a good play, as betting would likely fold out most of their opponent's weaker hands.

On the river, the Qc completes a backdoor flush draw and the BB bets 8.5 BB into a pot of 8.95 BB. Given that the BB checked on the turn, their range is polarized between strong hands and missed draws. Some of the hands they may have that beat Hero include AQ, Q9, 99, and 44. Some of the missed draws they may have include KJ, JT, T8, and flush draws with a single diamond.

Based on the opponent's range and the pot odds, Hero should fold their hand. Even though they have two pair, it's a weak two pair that has been counterfeited by the river card. The opponent's bet size is also relatively large, indicating that they have a strong hand or they are trying to bluff with a missed draw. Therefore, the best play is to fold and wait for a better spot.
