Raise or fold this preflop, but don't openlimp. Personally, I would raise this if you think you have a chance of stealing the blinds or getting it HU and taking it down with a flop bet.

Your flop and turn play look good. I'm not too sure about the river. I hate to raise in this spot if I don't feel comfortable folding to a 3-bet, which I'm not. I probably just call.

Why is 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] not a card you wanted to see? If you were ahead you could not have lost the lead on that card. It's one of the few really good ones in the deck, along with 4's, 3's or 2's.

Hmmm.. You'r right my mistake.

I think it’s fine until your river raise. When a player this passive leads that river into an aggressor, I’d just call and hope he doesn’t turn over a pocket pair higher than 44.
