You can avoid this by checking behind on the turn. I really don't think it's close, that's the right move against an aggressive oponent. Would be close if the turn was the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

As it is you are in a tough spot, but this reeks of a draw to me. Passive on the flop, hoping for an overcall, and then aggressive on the turn when you refuse to give him a free card and he gets a good scarecard. I'd call. I think most T/sL-A's will lead this turn if they have a 9. And the timing issue can fall out both ways.

I think this board is obsessed with checking behind on turns. If you don't bet an overpair on this turn, what do you bet? I think it's not in the least close if the turn didn't pair the board. Board pairing makes it a bit more WA/WB, but really, protecting my hand is very important on this board. How profitable are you to play draws against when you check behind on this board?

Pot control is good and all, but it isn't the almighty grail.
