why did you bet the turn if when he calls, you think your beat? if you bet the turn, it should be for value reasons aganist a lower ace, so you would like getting called.

also, how much did it bet the river? im assuming you checked to him, but it didnt show up.

Ok... this converter has been seriously messing up my UB hands. This is what happened.

It is just me and the button. I bet the flop... cuz I believe I'm ahead.

I bet the turn because I again believe I'm ahead.... now he raises his last 9.5 or whatever.

Do I just fold right there... he is all in at this point... and coud possibly be making a desperation play with KJ or KQ... I have no idea. However.. my "gut" tells me I'm behind.

I feel like I'm suppossed to call here

Why do you underbet the flop with both a flush a straight draw on the board?

Also, a call is a good play on the turn. There's a good chance you're behind but you're getting 4-1 from the pot and will have to risk nothing on the river. He may very well feel like he's going to have to call all in on the river anyway so he might as well get some fold equity out of his remaining chips.

Not sure if UTG is in the hand or not, so I'll just assume this is heads up. He's only got $9 or so left, and you're getting 4:1 to call. Can't see him calling a PF raise with 89 or some other random connector. He could do this with a flush draw, but it would certainly be more likely on the flop. No real two pair hands either, if you're losing it's most likely a set. For 4:1, I'll take those chances and call.

Yikes, called a preflop raise and flop bet with non-suited connector followed by gutshot. Regardless of what he had though, you should bet a bit more on the flop. I'm a fan of the 3/4 flop bet, so I'd bet around $6. Probably wouldn't make a difference against this idiot if it makes you feel better.
