<font color="blue"> I called here on the flop, to make sure it was HU. If BB starts to play aggressive (c/r), I think I might fold. Once I find that I am HU, I'm gonna get aggressive. Is there much wrong with my line of thought? </font>

Bet the flop. You have a made hand.

Fold to substantial heat, esp from original raiser.

Otherwise, get to showdown as cheaply as possible. Don't want to crap out to AK here.

I think MP2s bet on the flop (and turn) is a probing bet with either Ax (9+) medium PP or K/face prolly soooted.

I like the c/r on the turn and leading the river, you are likely ahead IMO based on no aggressiveness on the turn. I would've c/r'ed allin based on the flush draw there.

On the river, you have no choice really. Also why I'd c/r allin on the turn. To me, this is the heart the problem of playing this type of hand oop.

If it was me, he'd flip over A9o.
