1.
fold preflop
pot flop
pot turn
1/2 pot river/fold to a raise. 45 is the only valid draw and it just got there. you're also losing to all the reasonable kings.

2.
preflop real marginal
pot turn
river judgement call: are you good slightly over 1/3 of the time here?

3.
OOP PF either raise big or don't raise at all.
bet the flop
bet the turn
as played, call the river. your hand is good &gt;1/4 times.

time to work on that postflop agression.

[/ QUOTE ]

i don't get it. why play this if you're going to fold it at the first sign of aggression when you hit your hand? just because a potential flush draw hit? seems awfully weak...

also, i would have probably made a semi-bluff on the turn.

i guess i just thought that with that many people and an obvious straight on the board that it would be kinda tough for someone to bet out with just a nine. i also thought there was a lot of potential for there to be a raise from behind me if someone had a nine, and i dont think im calling a raise here. if there was actually some money in the pot maybe i wouldda done differently. not sure.
