i would have folded on the flop. too many cards to dodge for too little a return IMO.

Bet the flop. The rest looks good.

Really? Sure the pot is small, but we very likely have the best hand in a field of 3. I would guess Hero has at least 50% equity here, and possibly as much as 65% on the turn.

I like check-folding this flop. No reason to put any more in on this hand, when so many scarecards can come. Hero has middle pair with a shitty kicker.

Re: 79o in BB
 

I don't really like overcalling on the flop, but I do like betting the flop, and continuing to bet unless things get bad.

Re: 79o in BB
 

Meh. I guess it's probably not much of a mistake either way, but I can see folding with the 2 hearts on the board.

If the flop came rainbow are you guys still check/folding? There was no PF aggression, so it seems more likely that we are ahead than behind to me here.

Re: 79o in BB
 

line 1: bet flop, turn, river.
line 2: check/call flop. check/raise turn, bet river.

obviously those lines work better if the river isnt a 4th heart. i never know what to do when its a 4th of s suit. damn.

Re: 79o in BB
 

I'm less likely to fold in that situation, but I still might.

I got a free play in the big blind and this board is potentially scary. Numerous straight and flush draws are possible, as well as the fact that our pair is a pair of nines, so we have to be scared of every card higher than that. MP could also be betting A9.
