Raising with A9o from MP?? I think I would've foled this PF

I tend to check the river here. I can't seem to get people to fold often enough...

PF I like the raise.

EDIT -- Aces McGee was saying just today how he shows a profit betting all streets on blind steals and getting his opponent to fold the river. This is different, but the river bet may well be correct. And hey, maybe you got called by a worse hand.

You could, only you have a weak limper and a CO poster. I like the raise.

Check behind on the river. Can't imagine BB calling all this time without at least some sort of pair. I'd expect to see something like 55 or 87s shown down here. You could even get called down by an ATo.

Checking also saves you a bet if BB is trying to C/R a made flush on the river. Not likely at that level, but possible.

Not sure I like the PF raise with that hand, because I'd really hate to have someone reraise behind me.

This is not a reason not to raise. You also hate a reraise behind when you raise AQ from EP...

I wont do this earlier than MP3 and not without the poster.

I agree with the river check, though figuring that I am behind after the flop call and then taking the free card on the turn would be better against players who calls down with any pair, but not less. There aren´t many draws on this Qxx board.

I don't like to generalize too much by limit, as I think there are quality players (and many) at all the limits. However, it's not too much out on a limb to say .5/1 players will often call with little-to-no draw.

I'd bet the turn before I gave in. You could be against someone trying to spike his deuce, but willing to fold the turn.

I've shown a profit betting all streets on steal blind attempts. I will, if I have a good read on a player and am not played back at, fire "all three barrels".

No Flop%:16.67 Fold%:20 Ww/oSD%:50 WSD%:30 W$SD%:55.56

My steal success on PF is horrible, but I believe that's because PP .50/1 players can't stand to let someone steal there blinds and will call with almost anything.
