I check this river in position. I don't think I can call this check raise unless I have a read on this guy as very tricky/loves to bluff.

Re: 10/20: a river laydown - 99
 

I think this is an uber-easy fold considering you've done nothing but bet/raise at every opportunity and he still like his hand enough to c/r you on the river.

You don't think this is a pretty thin value bet? What will he call with that you beat?

Edit: I guess a 5 or 6 is he's superdonk (which i see it looks like he is, but still. I guess if that's a good value bet I'm missing some)

Nice hand.

I don't know if I'm being too weak but I often don't raise this flop because I feel it threatens my likelihood of seeing a showdown too much. I assume you are calling down a flop 3-bet but how about a turn c/r? It's weird but in these hands where I have position I generally feel much more in control when I let the lag keep betting. Generally I think I would call down unless the turn is a non diamond overcard in which case I might raise and take the free SD.

I usually just call down here as well, but given that you raised the flop well played. Easy river fold, and I think the value bet is good.

So you think the value bet is too thin as I do?

Re: 10/20: a river laydown - 99
 

Nah.. given the way it was played I like a river value bet. If he had called and raised the turn on a high card like I talked about he would be showing ton more strength so things would be different on the end.

looks good to me.

i like the river valuebet/fold.

Re: 10/20: a river laydown - 99
 

I'd bet/fold the river as well. A lot of straight draws could have paired the river card and will pay you off. He checkraised the river after you've shown nothing but strength the whole way, so I think it's a safe fold.
