Default Pocket 9\'s 6max

Does anyone like this line? his bet into me on the turn really confused me and I was really debating folding/calling.

MP ($435.75)
Hero ($605.6)
Button ($878.4)
SB ($670.95)
BB ($715.05)
UTG ($194)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $3.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $20</font>, Button calls $20, SB (poster) calls $17, BB calls $14.

Flop: ($80) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $55</font>, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls $55.

Turn: ($190) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $188</font>, Hero calls $188.

<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $250</font>, Hero calls $250.

Reads?

He could've been semi-bluffing the diamond draw or he could have a 6.

Hard to say...

Pretty solid player, however the last pot we played he bluffed me out of with some big betting when I had top pair top kicker.

If you're going to call a river bet that big, I think I push the turn.

I agree here. I dont think you can call the turn with the intention of simply calling any non 9 river. I'm folding this turn more often than not. His large bluff on you shortly before aside, I always find it hard to put that much money in with a weaker overpair on a paired board. But hey maybe that's just me and I'm a little weak/tight.

why didn't he put you all-in on the river? it looks like he wants a call. many players check-raise the turn with a 6, but not all. i think you are probably beat here, as a bluff likely sticks in that extra 100 or so on the river to make your call harder. hope it worked out.

Im not sure why he didnt put me all-in, I had a little over 300 at that point and he bet 250 as a "value bet". But if im going to call 250 i'll be calling 300 obviously. The whole hand had me confused for a while. At showdown he had 89o for top pair and i took it down, but i still feel like I shouldn't of been in the pot the way he was betting the turn/river.
