Message: [QUOTE="JCchon413, post: 7187286, member: 1030547"] Jamming preflop would be the worst possible play here. The BB could wake up with hands like QQ+. Also UTG only calls with better hands or AK. 3 betting preflop is good, especially in ICM, considering the BB has positional as well as stack advantage over you. If BB 4bets, you just fold. Given that BB folded, UTG's call could mean he has hands like 77 through JJ, AJs+ and AK, AA sometimes flats as a trap considering the low SPR, QQ and KK probably jams more often than not as he knows you are strong enough to call. So QQ and KK can be eliminated. Now, on the flop, checking is the right play. He knows you could check with hands like KK, sometimes AA and AK as a trap, and TT through QQ for pot control. If he has AA or AK, it is very unlikely that you have AA or AK yourself, so he would most likely bet small to get value from TT through QQ. When he checks back, it means he has more of AJs, AQs, 77, 88, JJ. He could check back with 99 as a trap. Now, with 9 on the turn, villain rarely has a 99. You can bet out small to get protection from hands like AJ and AQ and value from 77 and 88 with the plan to check river if called. Villain is most likely checking back 77 and 88 and might bluff the air portion, which you can consider calling. I prefer check calling given that sizing, with a consideration to check call river jam on a brick river. Villain sensed your weakness and might be bluff betting with AJ and AQ to get folds from TT through QQ and might bluff all the way to the river. However, with JJ even if he bets turn, he is invariably checking back river. So, i dont love the fold at all. [/QUOTE]
