Thoughts?


My thoughts were that it could very well be a checked through 9, or a JT (a very commonly played hand from any position). I would have raised a smaller bet from him, but to raise his 100 bet, I would have to take it to 300, and I wasn't sure I could call a push.

I think checking through the river may have been missing value though.

I would bet this river. Looks fine, otherwise.

I'd be really shocked to see a check/raise on this river. I think you should value bet.

I agree, ASSUMING you called the bet on the turn.

I might have folded on the turn. With pot size of only 75, calling with TPTK is not bad, but I'd hate to be put on the spot for, say, a 150 bet on the river. Its relatively early in the tournament, you don't have a GREAT hand, why risk it? It can be argued either way, but here I prob. would have folded the turn. With 5 players, its very likely someone has a 9.

Folding the turn in this situation is pretty much out of the question for me.
