The following hand happened last night at the Taj Mahal in Ac at a short-handed ( 6 players) 10-20 game.
First in +2UTG raises, folded to me and I call with pockets 9's from the button. We see the flop head to head. Should I have reraised?
Flop 2 7 5 rainbow
The first player to act bets. I know the flop couldnt have helped him. This player wouldnt bet if he had a real hand, he would wait for the turn or he would have gone for a check-raise. I decide to raise, he reraised I call. Now I dont know if he is trying to buy the pot, or he has a hand.
Turn 2 7 5 (8) complete rainbow
Player checked. I didnt want to walk into a check raise, so I check behind him. Should I have bet?
River 2 7 5 8 (5)
Player bets out, I call and my 9's were good. My opponent had AQ off suit.
Thanks for any suggestions or comments.
