J9s - I continue to bet my draw on the turn
Only my second orbit, so no good reads on anyone yet. UTG has been somewhat loose preflop and UTG+1 has been very loose. No postflop reads, but the table (like many Paradise tables) is relatively tight postflop. It's not unusual for hands to go to the river and then not get shown down.

Of course, the downside is that sometimes I get raised by someone else who really does have trips now but was tentative with top pair on the flop, and I can't fold. Also, if I get called in 1 spot, then I have to figure out if I fire again on the river UI. Thoughts? |

If you do get raised by someone who might actually have trips it's an easy call with your strong draw. If you don't hit, probably an easy c/f on the river. If you're just called, I'd go with checking the river UI. |

Im not sure if i go for check raise or just bet out |

Re: J9s - I continue to bet my draw on the turn
If the flush hits, I normally would bet out on the river against an unknown. That third flush card is an obvious scare card, and I definitely do not want villain checking behind, so I take the one bet rather than go for two in the bush.
If I make my straight, I'm more inclined to go for the check-raise because its usually harder for the villain to see the straight than the flush, so he's less likely to get scared and check the hand down. Obviously this is read-dependent though. |

Re: J9s - I continue to bet my draw on the turn
If they are tight, I would definitely fire again. However, on the turn we have lost our pot equity edge here and I would probably just check and call any bet.

Re: J9s - I continue to bet my draw on the turn
I often go ahead and bet this as well. If at least one of the villains is definitely known to be a folder, betting is almost automatic. If both are the kind that jump with joy to show down pocket sixes on this sort of board, check/calling is almost automatic.
Against two relative unknowns, its obviously close and I couldn't really argue with either action. The second Q makes me lean a bit toward betting because its hard for somebody to have a Q and that second Q looks at least as scary to the other players as it does to me. |

Re: J9s - I continue to bet my draw on the turn
I would feel inclined to follow up with a turn bet.
I think that if someone had a Q, then they would usually have raised your bet on the flop. Also if your turn bet does get called or raised, then you still have 15 outs to improve to a flush or straight. So I would regard a turn bet as a semi-bluff into 2 opponents, which seems reasonable for a tight table. If I was called (or raised), I dont think that I would fire away with another bet UI on the river with only J high. That would most likely end up value betting someone elses 2 pair (or set) for them. |

I figure if he's going anywhere, it's on the turn, since I can't imagine he would figure he's behind to my "trips" on the turn and call drawing dead or to a two-outer. Easy fold now, or am I good ~1 in 8 against something like another missed flush draw, a pair of 7's, a small PP, or a worse 9? |

Re: J9s - I continue to bet my draw on the turn
I think you fold. If you were going to call here you should've bet out(Although I don't think you should've done that either, I think it's a check/fold). Also how do you get 1 in 8. Aren't you calling 1 bet to win 7 now?
