Hey fishies...
3rd hand at the table, no reads, no PT. 9 handed, villain has $90, I cover. 100NL, .5/1 blinds.
1 limper, I call in the HJ with 55, suits no matter. CO calls, blinds call.
Flop ($5):
256 rainbow
Checked to me, I fire pot, Villain (SB) calls.
This always worries me, because obviously people will call a ridiculously wide range of hands out of the SB, but I'm only behind to 2 with no clear draws. At this point, barring a gross turn, I am ready to stack.
Turn ($15):
2 5 6 [7] to complete the rainbow
He checks out of the SB, I bet $13, he calls. He now has around $60 left, and I'm pretty stoked to be getting him all in possibly. Unless...
River ($41):
2 5 6 7 [9]
He checks. Is this a clear check behind? I thought so at first, but then snapped myself out of it. Even after I told myself I was clearly ahead, I still had a hard time betting. I'm not gonna get called by anything but a straight or another set (TP may or may not call). So if I do value bet, what amount? It seems like any legitimate bet would commit me to a call if he raises anything. I was a little confused....

PS. My dad just got a pretty awesome job so while I'm home I got 5 bottles of Crystal. One of those bottles was in me at the time... so don't flame too hard. If your in Sacramento, PM me, lets drink....
