Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6651655, member: 397965"] Preflop Standard defend. Flop When he bet full pot, you dont need to defend as often, as you do against a small bet like half pot or less. But even so you are still folding far to much, if you dont continue with second pair, which mean, he can just bomb the pot with random no equity junk like 73 offsuit and literally print money against you. It does suck, because you most likely have to fold, if he also bomb the turn. But not continuing here with second pair is simply not fundamentally sound poker. You also have a backdoor straight- and flushdraw for a little bit of backup equity, when you are behind. Turn No reason to donk lead here, since he can definitely have a Q, and pretty happy that he check back. River When the turn goes check-check, it can often be fine to lead the river for thin value. But in this situation I would not do it. You dont beat anything, that connected with the board other than a worse 9, so for me at least this is to thin. I would probably also fold, if he bomb the river, since I can definitely see a Q play this way, and the flushdraw got there. So the only like reasonable bluff, he could have, would be a hand like JT. You can also have a Q or maybe sometimes a 2, so I dont think, you need to hero call with a 9. But luckily he dont put you to this decision, because he check back again. Spoiler So he had a bluff, that gave up. This is why, you cant fold on the flop. And while being super results oriented, maybe he would actually have called a small bet on the river with A high on a dubble paired board. Also just want to add, that based on his line in this hand, that opponent is not, what I would call a good LAG. He bet full pot on the flop with an in between hand, that should look to either bet small or check back. By doing so he made sure, that he pretty much only got action from better hands and good draws. And then he failed to follow it up on the turn and river, where he could potentially have made better hands fold. So this is not the way, we want to play AJs as the opponent. And of course its not surpricing to see a low quality of play like this, since its a very cheap tournament :) [/QUOTE]
