J9s in the SB, should I bet this river?
Here's an interesting hand. I completed in the SB with the marginal J9s and went to showdown. Would you bet this river? I did not, because I considered my hand weak and did not want to call a raise if someone caught the turn card.

Re: J9s in the SB, should I bet this river?
One other comment. I called the flop because I held two overcards to the board and decided that there were no strong draws (that could trap me, I could easily lay down to a heart for example). There were enough players in the pot to justify drawing to one card. If I had paired on the turn, I would have led out.

You're right. It was a smelly call.

I dunno..it was thin, but I think the odds are just about right. Two overcards + runner straight + runner flush = 6.5 - 7 outs. I dont think its a horrible, esp. if the thinks he will get callers behind..
