Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6553658, member: 305911"] I think its okay to defend here although I probably dont on this stack depth. I fold too much in the BB so I think if we are looking to defend more often then Q9 suited is not a horrible hand to do it with. I would factor in what I know about villain though. If they are a barreler than I am probably way less likely to call pre flop. I am playing this hand to hit a disguised big hand (which would be great against a barreler) but more often we will flop nothing or some marginal hand that we will want to see a check somewhere in the first two streets of the hand. Since barrelers dont check then we need to hit something big to feel decent otherwise you get what happened here and you get stuck in the hand since we called pre and hit middle pair so we shouldnt be folding and then turn gives us more equity but we have to face another bet. Its probably best to think of these spots as a bad fold is better than a bad call so its better to just fold and move on but we also have to defend at some % to keep others honest. In the end I would fold if I knew I was against an aggro player and fold in general since stack sizes are smallish so the prospect of implied odds are less. As far as the hand goes villain almost has a pot sized shove on the turn and does not take it. When they bet small its either a blocker bet to get you to check the river or its a hand that is strong and wants to milk you as you would have a very small bet to call on the river even with a small bet on the turn. I think calling turn is fine due to we are almost getting true odds on the flush. I would think villain might give up on river/take showdown value when checked to so when they jam here its usually not even a bluff since they have so little and pot odds are good. Therefore, my opinion is calling turn is fine due to the odds you are getting but even though the 6 does not change the hand I would fold river. [/QUOTE]
