Default River card makes me vomit in my mouth, plan of action?

After villain calls my 3 bet I put him on 9x or some kind of middle PP. With no turn raise, I discounted K9 and a set. On this river, what should be the general plan? No read on villain unfortunately.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Bet and fold to a raise. If he has a nine, he will tell you. If he doesn't, you want the value he gets when he calls.

This pot is not big enough to vomit over. If so quit.
Check. Call if the villian a margninal idiot (but you don't know this).

Well, I want a showdown with JJ in an 8BB pot heads up. I think check call is way better than bet/fold. He needs 7x, PP, or a missed draw more than 1/10th of the time for you to be profitable. I just don't think folding is an option. If you lead out with a bet he might fold one of these hands. If he has you beat he will certainly reraise. If you check, you might induce a bluff. Actually, I think this is a perfect check/call situation. I think you will be surprised by how often you win this one.

I think check call is slightly better than bet/fold.

I think he calls with an underpair a lot more often than he bets with one. That makes me want to bet/fold.

I like check/call if you are likely to induce a bluff...then again I don't value bet often enough.

Choose your own adventure............
check: villain bets, you call: 89, you lose -1BB
47, you win +1 BB
villain checks: you win 0BB

bet: villain calls: you win +1 BB
villain folds: 0 BB
villain raises: with a 9, you fold -1BB
with a busted draw, you fold best hand


i like check/call, because you only give up a value bet sometimes when villain doesnt bluff with a crap hand but you never fold the best hand. bet/fold always cost you 1 bet.
