The ol\' checkcall checkcall bet
 

Except I'm trying to combat it and punish it when I have a marginal hand. Villian has 2p2ish stats and could be one, who knows.

Don't like it. The only hands that you're ahead of which will call your raise are A6, A7, and A8, and he might not raise all of these from MP.

Re: The ol\' checkcall checkcall bet
 

Yeah, this could definately be AJ. I'm more inclined to do this if the 9 didn't hit, because A9 might be betting to 3bet. Also, I would probably fold preflop.

folding pf is pretty bad.

What do you think he is raising UTG, that will call a river raise and not be the winning hand here?

Re: The ol\' checkcall checkcall bet
 

yeah, it's a bad raise. I agree with everyone.

I like your thinking though, its just that the math wasn't there.

Agreed. ATs is a solid hand.

EDIT: If villain had AA, AK or AQ he'd probably cap PF. So we're assuming he has AJ? I'd say call, and expect to see villain have an overplayed Ax.

Generally, I'm not worried about being dominated here because I'll find out about it real quick.
