Re: My nine makes a straight, so lets cap the turn...
I don't like betting the river because
a) at best, I am splitting this pot with another 9, and there are no more cards to come that people can hope will hit their stupid draws.
b) The K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hits every stupid draw there was on that board. I have to call a bet obviously, but no one is paying off more than one bet on that board having to coldcall 2 (after I bet and button raises). Worst of all is facing 4-5 bets on the river by someone with a flush trapping me between him and the other nine.
On the other hand, the pot is huge and my equity is still probably greatere than 25% in this pot even with the flush out there. I still can't decide if I should have been betting the river for value.
