Flop Raise Q + River Action ?

[B Dids]

Pretty early to the table. UTG isn't great, but he's not calling two cold on the flop for nothing. I'm calling a bet on the river obviously, but don't want to bet and get raised.

Final Pot: 8 BB

I would check and call one bet, but probably not two. You'll get called with any T and any better 9. Any BD flush will raise.

In a sentance: I don't see any value in your (possible) bet.

Yup, check-call.

Shouldn´t worry you very much as it´s an easy fold then.

You should think about how often he checks through a better hand or calls a worse instead. Same with SB.

Obviously you can't call a bet and a raise, so I assume you mean you'd check and consider folding to a bet and a call? Sounds good to me.

I'm thinking UTG may have loved it if your 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif had fallen on the river. He also could have been hoping for a 6 or a jack. Hands like AT, JT, and even JJ are also possible, unfortunately. So are 87, 88, and another 98, but I don't think I'm going to be very confident if I bet and UTG calls the river.

For his part, SB could have T3s or Q9o or something (or any of the hands I mentioned for UTG).

I think I like checking here. If UTG bet, I guess I'd call and maybe even overcall.

But I wouldn't be happy.

[B Dids]

This wasn't information you had, but the sb was bad enough that I would easily overcall if UTG bets.

[Grease]

Well in that situation I would check and call any bet and calls to me. Any c/r and I'm definitely gone.
