Played bad ?

Why, I am a bit confused! What are you trying to hit, If an Ace hits, then your kicker is in doubt,

[/ QUOTE ]

If its not raised behind you then your pair of aces could be the best hand. As for your kicker, The only thing you have to worry about is AJ and A10, so if a tight player limps behind you and then wakes up when the A hits, you should play cautiously.

[ QUOTE ]
if the 9 hits (usually) there are overcards out there, so again you have problems.

[/ QUOTE ]

protect your hand just like any other time overcards could come to your top pair.

[ QUOTE ]
Only safe cards for you is to flop your flush or 4 to the flush.

[/ QUOTE ]

Depending on the action, a pair and a BDFD can be well worth playing after the flop. But yes the flush would be the main thing you're after.

[ QUOTE ]
Are we saying that at this level, we will get paid off, if the flush is out there?

[/ QUOTE ]

90% of the time yes.

bet river, the two didnt change anything

I don't really like the turn raise. I think a lot of hands that you beat and are drawing thin will just fold, trips aren't going anywhere, even the flush may just back off but not fold. On the other hand, if MP1 raised the flop with an overpair, he will probably fold to the turn raise, while drawing to two outs, but call with trips or any other better hand. So if BB has aces and sixes, you are going to win, the extra bet you get from BB by raising, you could also get by letting MP1 overcall with a big pair. You could actually end up making 1 bb more than if you raise. The danger is that someone holds a lone diamond and you let them draw cheap, but that's a risk I would take here.

Value bet the river. Villian would have reraised the turn with a monster.

:grunch: Preflop - okay. Flop - okay

Turn - At first I didn't like the raise, but after thinking about it some more, it's okay. You just have horrible relative position.

If MP1 raised you on the flop with a 6, making a higher two pair isn't going to help you. BB probably hit his Ax, so you have him beat so the raise is good. I'd be worried about MP1 calling 2 on the turn with a 6 (which doesn't seem to be the case since the river was checked through)

River - Bet! The 2 didn't change anything. If MP1 raises, I'd probably fold to his 6.

A read on MP1 would be very helpful.

Pre-Flop I usually fold A9s UTG and UTG+1.

The question is not whether we are dominated or not. The question is how often we are dominated and what the domination costs us in comparison what we get when we hit the board.
