Default Re: A9 Top Pair, Out of Position on a Drawy Board

There's such a large range of hands BB could have (especially since he's the BB) and you'd have to play this hand out of position, so I'd proceed with caution. Two options come to mind:

1) If you decide to bet out here (I don't think I would), I'd call the raise on the flop, but check and fold to a pot sized bet on the turn (or even 2/3 pot sized bet). If he checks the turn, I'm calling any non-diamond river.

2) Check the flop. You're going to be out of position and very confused by any raise. Someone here could have K9, Q9, J9, 109 or a draw (which you beat) or have 56, 55, 66, 78, 99 or 1010 which would be bad. This isn't a hand I'd want to be playing a big pot. I'd be excersizing a lot of pot control here. I'd want to see action develop. If one person pots it and all else fold, I'd call, but fold to turn agression.
