He raised you, you just called. A bad player isn't smart enough to betcall, checkraise turn.

[/ QUOTE ] This is not a very clever play. Bad players do it all the time. And especially faced with a min-raise from this type of oponent, it would be far from smart.

Maybe you aren't as good of a player as you think.

Calling a raise with 89s out of position against a solid player is probably not very good poker. I mean, you even admit his PFR is only 5% so his range is something like, JJ-AA, AK-AQ.

[/ QUOTE ] It's a bit wider than that given that he opened in the CO. But if that was the range, calling with 89s would be a good thing normaly.

Villain paused for 15 seconds or so, and folded. I try to not show my hand unless I have to, but I think I was right to show this one.

This is a great image play whether or not he calls and the EV isn't terrible.
