Don't bet the river.

I can easily agree with this. Button's PF,Flop and Turn play spells set to me. However it was UTG's flop play that was telling me he possibly held a K on the flop and I am also suspicious on button's call. Now when button raises the turn that says set to me but UTG still calls. So how could UTG hold less than a K here. Everything else would/should fold(except another unlikely AA). So on the river I'm thinking if UTG holds one K it is so unlikely for Button to hold KK. Hence my river lead.

Does anyone else read through this hand differently.

My read was:
UTG: AK
Button: 99

Button's flop coldcall and turn raise trapping both of you even though it was capped preflop and a K came on the flop just scream 99. He HAS to know AK is at best a split, he could be doing it with AA (but as you said, that's only 1 combo). Can't bet the river.

Nick, You think Button coldcalls two on the flop W/99? After a SB PF cap and an UTG flop raise on a K high board.

Slowplaying sets like this seem to be pretty standard for weak players. You have to agree it screams strength? Why would he play this way with AK? I could see him doing it with AA, but that's an unlikely hand.

The only other hand I can see him holding is KK, but as you say this hand goes down in likelyness when UTG seems to hold a K.

Opps, sorry Nick. I looked back at the hand afetr you posted and thought the 9 hit on the turn. Anyway button had KK. UTG had QQ which is what threw off my whole read. Still betting the river was a mistake as I didn't give enough weight to a possible 99.
