If the spade hand't fell I might have thought about calling down, but from his flop play I'm thinking if it isnt the 9 its gotta be spades. What does everyone think?

I agree, the call-cap is a strong play.

I gotta agree. Looks like him having the 9 is most likely as his play on the flop figured to narrow the field if he was spades.
I say he was suited 89,910 or A9.

i'm not sure i would been as stubborn with my aces there. maybe i just call the raise by MP3 and try to see the river as cheaply as possible. not sure, though. maybe the raise gets rid of the one drawing for the flush, probably not, though. yep, i just call. then again, is this a raise or fold decision. i'm stumped.
