River is semi-scary. People do play A8 clubs but don't usually raise. I was also worried about check/raise but it didn't come...

SB checks, CO checks, Hero bets, SB calls, CO calls.

Final Pot: 21 BB
Main Pot: 21 BB, between CO, Hero and SB. > Pot won by Hero (21 BB).

Results in white below: 
SB shows Kc Ks (one pair, kings).
CO shows Qd Qh (one pair, queens).
Hero shows 9s 9d (three of a kind, nines).
Outcome: Hero wins 21 BB.

you are up against only two players on the river and both have shown that they have good hands by capping preflop...most .50/1 dont do this with TT/JJ/KQ, it think you can put then on either high pairs or AK/AQ type hands...I thin you have a clear bet on the river...

That river wouldn't scare me too much. Not with the action on the flop. There is crazy play at that level, but someone would have to be in there with just two /images/graemlins/club.gif's and calling the whole way. Likely? Probably not. At the very worst, someone has A10s, but I'm still betting/calling at the end.
