Standard turn check behind hand

Villain is 45/23/1.22 with 45 WTSD. My river plan was to call an ace or jack, raise a king, and call any other card except 9. Lo and behold, a 9 fell and I folded. ANyone call river hoping for weak ace or kx?

What's your logic behind folding on a 9 but no other card?

I wish this thread got slightly more attention - it's a good hand IMO.

Easy enough fold for me.

The fold makes sense to me

MarkD · #5 08-31-2005, 04:08 PM

I wasn't trying to say that the fold wasn't easy. I was enquiring about the reasoning. Why fold on a 9 but not on an 8 or a 7?

it completes the JK straight draw? only reason I can see.

Lmn55d · #7 08-31-2005, 04:11 PM

it also pairs J9, K9, and 89...all possible holdings for loose player.

ah, I thought he raised after a limper so he was likely to have a decent hand... didn't see it was an open raise. The 9 does hit a lot of hands.

i bet more than the 9 pairs holdings of a loose player

Well, this is what I was getting at - I just wanted to see it in writing I suppose. I need to work on key cards. I usually see them too late, or sometimes I see them but didn't think of them ahead of time and I don't like that.
