some good replies.

im relatively unknown in the NL poker world. my turn pushes never get called so no one ever sees my hans. which is good for metagame. the only way someone could know that it's an easy call with a set or AQ knows my username, and only two people know it besides me. AND THEY ARENT ALLOWED TO TELL.

as for this push. hands like Q9, T9, etc are all possibilities, as are sets. but after I bet the flop, then checkraise the turn all in, it's REALLY hard for the opponent to call me here with anything less than a lone 9. i was trying to represent AK here, which bet the flop then decided to test my opponent. i know i can't get a 9 to fold, but you have to admit, on a QJT8 board it's REALLY hard for him to call with 88 or TT even, given that he doesnt know me.


like ggbman said, it's somewhere around "OK" IMO. i didnt want to flat call such a gay underbet on the turn so i decided to make him put in 1600 more or so (almost the whole size of the pot) to see the river, in case he had a set.
