Strange BB special hand - Party 200NL

[Ulysses]

I've been here one round and know very little about any of the players. I have $288. One guy has $367. Everyone else has a little under $200.

I have 5s9c in the BB. 4 callers including the SB. 5 see the flop. $19 pot.


** Dealing Flop ** : [ Th, 5c, Ks ]

Checked around.

** Dealing Turn ** : [ 9h ]

SB checks. I bet $19. EP, LP (guy who has me covered), and SB all call.

** Dealing River ** : [ 2c ]

About $95 in the pot. Check or bet? If bet, how much? If check, call how much?

[J.A.Sucker]

Bet 85.

$40 - $60, small since the flop was checked and you have two players in the pot.

[Ulysses]

I bet $60. They both folded.

Results-oriented I know, but since they all folded, I wondered whether checking to induce a bluff from one of the missed draws might have been better.

Passive weak kings and tens usually call here.

I agree. $60 was exactly how much I thought I could get a Ten to call.
