Sure, your kicker plays.

I think if anyone had a Q, you would have heard about it on the turn.

I think you get called by a T, some pocket pairs, and worse aces here. I'd bet the river.

[thesharpie]

Does everyone value bet with A9 here?

[milesdyson]

well A9 is effectively A2, and yes, i would value bet even if my kicker didn't play.

it's clear that the preflop raiser doesn't hold a strong ace, and basically when you value bet this river you won't be surprised to split, but you really expect someone with a T to call you. i can't see how we're not at least splitting this pot. if the worst case is break-even, and everything else is better than that, we should value bet.

I knew it was a mistake. First hand in, I had MUTB syndrome.

[detruncate]

I don't know if everyone bets the river, but I sure as hell do.

Yes, bet the river for value.
Don't think the pot is big enough, that is never the case.
