Default 99 in the SB

Villain is 61/8/1

I don't like checking the turn because it gives him a chance to make a bluff I can't call with any random holding he called the flop bet with. On the hand I can't see many hands I'm beating after the K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] falls on the turn, so I don't like the bet much either.

Thoughts?

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, Button calls.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB folds, Button calls.

Turn: (4 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 7 BB

itīs a tough spot to be in. But I would opt for you to check-fold... It seems weak but the pot is so small and you are in a really tough spot.

If you are behind you are either way behind or you could even be drawing dead.
And if you are ahead itīs probably not by much.

So my conclusion is to check-fold

Much as I hate the check-fold, I cannot imagine what an AF=1 player could hold that you could beat. At best, you are drawing to two outs, but are just as likely drawing dead. You can beat only a bluff, and it's not worth 2BB to see if he's bluffing.

Yuck, I hate being in this spot.

What is your river plan if villain just calls?

check-call probably, except if a diamond or Ace falls in which case I'd probably check-fold.
