Villain comes alive on the river with TPTK

[ChuckNorris]

Think he hit his kicker? Missed a flush draw and bluffs? Wtf? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Whatever his hand, I don't get it.

It's a $50+5.

It doesn't look like an ace to me. Most players would check call aces up here on this dangerous board. He could have hit a straight with a double gutshot like QT or even QT of hearts. I'd say the chance of him bluffing is pretty low, because that 9 doens't look like a scare card.

[ChuckNorris]

Yeah, the straight is also among the hands that beat me. I guess it was a clear fold? Anyone thinking anything else?

I like to reraise that flop more, to about t125. if he calls that, then i am much more confident that he likes his hand. then, when he checks to me on the turn i may check and try to showdown the hand cheap.

I fold on the river also, it seems that you are beat.

You might be right about the (not re-)raise. But I don't think I can give a free river cards just because a random 55'er calls my flop raise after minibetting. I still like to bet the turn both for value and to protect against draws. Depending on the turn card, of course.
