Re: Your thoughts on this check-raise.

1) It helps that the preflop raiser is passive. And that the button is aggressive postflop.
2) I hope to limit the field. If I am behind - at least I have a couple lame b/d draws to help out.
3) If the preflop raiser had gone ahead and bet it and there was a call ahead of me - I suck in those situations.

That's what I thought. In that case I like the check raise, since you had good evidence it would work like it did.
As for the river, that's tough, what a terrible card to fall. Flush, or OESD just made it. I don't think we get him to fold a weak 9 often enough. We'd get called by a pair of 5's maybe, pocket sixes or sevens maybe. I'd probably bet it but I think it's got to be somewhat close, maybe minus EV.
