I would check the river, if UTG is willing to stick around past paired 9s and an ace, he has something and you might as well just check behind.

Vagrant, I think you might be being results oriented here. If Villain had not check-raised Hero and had simply called Hero's river bet, I don't think you would have advocated checking behind.

Nope, the paired 9s make me nervous, the ace gives me another reason to be weary. What could the villan be sticking around with? Either villan is being extremely fishy or setting the trap. I would seriously consider checking. But if I did bet out, I would definately call the reraise.

Calling a river check-raise here against a typical player is a bad idea, unless you know the Villain is capable of bluff check-raising, in which case you should call.

You are going to see either an Ace, trips, or a boat here 90% of the time against a typical player.

Someone on here(I forget who) said: When was the last time you called a check-raise and won? Bodhi won tonight, but I bet most of the time when he calls a river check-raise he loses, like most of us do.

After 40K hands you wouldn't believe the [censored] I've found in my PT database. I think I used to fold too much to this kind of bull-pucky.
