J9o in the SB, Blind vs Blind.
Online 10-20 game.
Folded to me in the small blind. I have J9o, and I complete. The big blind raises, and I call. The BB, is loose, aggressive, on tilt, whining about bad beats which aren't, and calling people names in a friendly way. He has also chastised me for being a smart ass, which I probably deserved, but he was serving up a lot of straight lines that it wouldn't be right to leave untouched. Anyway, flop AJ4, rainbow, I check, and he bets, I call. Turn 2, I check, and he bets, I call. River 5, I check, and he bets, and I call. Are there any spots that I could play differently? Was this reasonable?

Re: J9o in the SB, Blind vs Blind.
Sometimes I raise preflop here but I don't think this is one of them. I think your completion is fine. I can't see any other line to take after that, as getting 3-bet sucks in this situation and there is a likelyhood of him betting all the way w/out a pair.
Peace, Joe Tall

Re: J9o in the SB, Blind vs Blind.
i read your hand until the flop, then i said to myself "just call this guy down"...i would have played itt the same...
Well, then you would have played it exactly the same way I did. I thought about it for a bit on the flop, and then decided to check/call all the way.

Results.
I posted this hand, because I was wondering if I would be ahead often enough to justify calling on all three streets in a two big bet pot.
Apparently everyone agrees with the play that I made in the heat of battle. In that case, you would have all won the pot, my opponent had pocket 8s, and as a bonus, you would all also get called 'moron' by the BB.

That is the exact phrase I like to use when someone raises the river when I bet the nuts, then calls my 3-bet [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] "Moron" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I think you are ahead here more than enough times to make the check-call correct. --Casey

Re: J9o in the SB, Blind vs Blind.
i don't play 10/20, nor can i speak for Bob, but it seems like this guy was on pretty bad tilt or crazy aggro so check/call the river prevents us from having to deal with being raised, which would really suck...

Re: J9o in the SB, Blind vs Blind.
I think against this particular opponent checking the river is okay because I'm guessing he'll bet more hands than he'll call with, and it also seems this is a spot where being bluff raised on the river is a possibility. Also take into account an aggressive/tilting opponent might raise with just top pair if hero bets the river.
I guess what I'm saying is that I think the river check is okay because we're probably paying off a raise here, and there's a good chance our opponent will bet many hands we beat if checked to. Is this correct, or am I up too late?
