sorry i didnt include it he had A5 for just a pair of nines
why do you say lucky?
dont you think he didnt want a call, that he just wanted to steal the pot?

I actually like the play because the river paired the board. I think with top pair, he would have likely led the flop. By the turn, if he had a pair he probably would have bet. If he checks the turn with any pair, then I don't see him betting the river, he'd probably just check and hope for a showdown. That leaves the possibility that he is slowplaying something, but in that case, I think a value bet would be more likely on the river.
A read would obviously help, but I'm not surprised that the 2s held up at all. Tough call though, but a good one. Next time don't post the results for a while, let some discussion develop.
