Re: Call the river?
 

Betting the flop would have made this hand a lot easier, as we could rule out 99 as a possible holding. You have to be 70% confident that your opponnent has a FH to make folding +EV. Without a read I would lean towards calling as you are unsure if the villain is capable of bluffing, however I think this is a pretty close decision. I can't imagine him "value" betting a worse hand. If villain checks to you are you betting or checking behind?

Re: Call the river?
 

AZK, I might raise preflop about 25% of thew time there.

I most certainly would normally bet that flop once nobody seems interested and I cant remember why i didnt bet it this time.

Im rather surprised that everyone thought it was an easy call. It does make me feel a little better because I did call.

But looking back it doesnt look like a good call to me. I mean I raised his turn bet a fairly significant amount and he called and then led into me when the board paired.

He had quad 6's.

He is showing a lot of strength there, but the bet's not huge and I would for sure have a tough time folding there w/out a great read (in fact, I probably never would).

Re: Call the river?
 

look at what happens when you bet flop, you bet, he calls/raises. He raises you call and get in on the turn. He calls you bet and he will probably raise turn you get it all in. 2 ways, you get it all in with the nuts when he is drawing to 10 outs, a much better way to play this hand regardless of outcome...no?
