Default Re: 100/200 9Ts

Missed folds on all streets.

Preflop, I'm not raising with this UTG.
I just don't think 109s is good enough to play five-handed.

On the flop, a fold should be considered because it's unlikely one pair will be the best hand and your draw really
isn't that good.

On the turn, the pot may be bigger, but your hand has gone down in value. The only chance is an offsuit jack or six and that might not be good enough.

On the river, you can't call with a non-nut straight and a four-flush on board.

Just give this one up.

I agree but I'm assuming it's not your default play and that your image and table conditions were such that you thought you could turn a profit here and now.

I go with it in CO, but not everytime. Maybe the table conditions differ enough at high limits to make this an easy raise.

i would call river and likely play the entire hand the same way you did.

you could have raise on the flop or turn, but then you would have had to make a post like "was this chip spewing cause the guy 3 bet me"

Are you for real?!!

Pre-flop: folding's okay. but raising every now and then is necessary to keep them quessing. NOBODY playing 5-handed can afford to just fold T9s everytime. What the hell WOULD you play? It is simply not that bad a hand. We're not talking 74s here.

flop: You'd consider folding?!! With this flop and this pot, I'm committed to the river. How the hell do you ever expect to win any hands if you fold these types of hands on the flop.

turn: Again, if you're prepared to fold here, you're going to get pushed out of way too many pots. Doubt you can ever book a winning session of any length.

river: A fold here's not unreasonable. But the statement 'you can't call...' shows how limited your imagination is.

Either you post is a troll (and I fell for it)... or ...
