Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6031182, member: 305911"] Pre flop I can see either way depending on what type of player is in the BB. You could call here as well with a hand that flops well and let villain use his aggression post flop to stick himself. That method would keep the pot small when you want it small and then you can play a large pot when you hit something and want to play a large pot. I dont mind 3 betting here as you are doing so thinking you will get a lot of folds and I have no problem with that. On the flop I see it both ways as I think you can check to induce bets or you can lead here. When we check though and villain who is aggressive does not bet behind us I would start be thinking something is wrong here. Why did villain deviate from the play that they normally would make. I would see this check as polarizing as they have air or they have something strong that they think you would fold to as you look a little weak 3 betting and then checking. I would not be too concerned yet but it would be on my mind. Another 9 or the turn is interesting as 99 is very unlikely now and the board is now fully rainbow. I would think 9x would be betting the flop if villain is aggressive. The only real set is 44 since villain would need the remaining JJ or 99 for set or quads. If you played the flop to ensnare the villain I would do the same here on the turn and check. I cant see villain checking behind after being checked to if they really are aggressive. Then we can just call behind and probably plan to do the same on the river. As played on the turn I would go to a slightly smaller sizing. This could keep in more A high hands and also any raise they make will be a smaller amount since our bet is smaller (I made this mistake in a game I played last night where I bet too much on the turn, got raised and decided to fold). In game I am not sure what I am doing there but it could be anything at this point. Made hands are a little harder to come by on this board so I lean towards calling since they are aggressive and will make plays like this. The 9 shouldnt change anything for our hand and yet we now decide to bet so maybe villain sees this as weakness. On the river I am not leading out there. I am looking to bluff catch which is the whole reason we called the turn bet. I would check and then evaluate depending on sizing and timing but would lean towards calling with a 5 being the river card. No draws got there and we have top pair on a paired board. Hands can beat us for sure but enough air here to call if we had checked. Based on stacks villain is going all in no matter what here but I still prefer checking instead of leading. I think now you have to make this call but I can admit I have a hard time ranging this hand. Im making the call going off the board paired, other cards are low, we have top pair 2nd kicker, no draws got there, and our villain stats wise is known to be aggressive. Not loving the call but I think we need to make it. Could be way off on this on as not as confident about it as some of my other posts. [/QUOTE]
