Default What would you do?

What would you do on the river here to Villain's all-in raise? My read on him: he'd knocked two players out by catching good cards. He was very loose (playing any A,K,Q offsuited) and not overly aggressive.

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed)

saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>

<font color="C00000">Hero (t930.00)</font>
<font color="C00000">UTG (t2420.00)</font>
UTG+1 (t1305.00)
MP1 (t470.00)
MP2 (t700.00)
MP3 (t1235.00)
CO (t1010.00)
Button (t720.00)
SB (t1210.00)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of t15.
UTG calls t30, <font color="666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls t30, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t120) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t30</font>, Hero calls t30, UTG calls t30, Button folds.

Turn: (t210) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets t30</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, UTG calls t100, SB calls t70.

River: (t510) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets t100</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t2260</font>, SB folds, Hero ???

fold. Knowing that he's loose, and might be drawing to the A, or has a hand liek A8, that A might've helped him. I'm checking the river and not getting any extra value out of it.

I would have raised more on the turn. You have a good hand but vunerable to other draws. Dont let them suck out on you. Fold the river. You are beat here a majority of the time.

God only knows why, but I called. For a split second I didn't register the A on the river! I was soooo wrapped up in thinking could he have K9, I just missed the obvious. A lesson learnt here!!
This was a cast iron fold on the river!! Oops!

Want to know the ironic thing? He showed K9o !!!!

We're all allowed to mess up once in a while! lol

Again...god only know's. I always bet the pot when I flop top pair, but this time thought I'd mix it up. Haven't got a clue why! Just one of those really, really, really bad hands all round!

Just got too slack and stopped thinking.
Which is a shame, cuz since I started playing Paradise I've played 29 $5+1's, been in the money 62% of time, and am currently running at 61% ROI.

I think you just need a real bad hand at times to make you wake up and remember that you have to concentrate 100% of the time at this game.
