Default Re: Nut straight meets a paired board on the river...

The turn check/raise is bad. First, it's risky; this will get checked through a lot of the time. Second, BB likes his hand now; maybe he likes it enough to raise, in which case you could have 3-bet.

Also, i feel like i'd have a better sense of BB's hand if you had just bet the turn. That turn donk could mean a lot of stuff, and on the river we're in a tricky spot because we don't know what the turn donk meant.

This river is tough, but i just call. You've shown a lot of strength, and BB is still raising. I think you're ahead a lot, but not the 55% necessary to 3-bet. Plus, i hate my life if the river is capped. If the board were less connected, i'd fear the boat less, but Q9/J9 worry me. Plus, he did call a bet on the flop, so he may have had a pair then.
