Re: 96s Blind Steal

what do you feel was the difference between calling down on the flop, bet/folding the turn and bet/calling the river?

Basically his play in this hand started out normal, then got weird, then got normal again, then got very very weird.
On the flop I plan to call down for the usual reasons. Get to showdown cheap, etc. When he checks the turn I decide he either has something like A-high, a deuce, a draw, or a monster. I think it's pretty unlikely he uses a checkraise here as a bluff, so I decide to bet/fold. When he just calls the turn and the river pairs and he checks, I decide he definitely probably has A-high, a deuce, or a missed draw. Some kind of slowplay is quite a far out there possibility and not much of a concern. In fact I will hardly ever get checkraised. So I bet. Then he checkraises. Okay slowplay is looking a lot more realistic now, but so is a desperation bluffraise or even a strange raise from A-high. 8.25 to 1 I deem easily good enough odds so I call.
