Cawl.

Yeah call.

I think you are better served to value bet and block the river, fold to a check raise.

Checking inspires a bet from Villain here, easy to turn a hand with very little showdown value into a river bluff.

I think you just have to call here.

no noone thinks its a fold here?

As played it's a call. I can't find a fold here, it's a perfect trap only if that river doesn't fall a scare card.

You have to call off here. The min raise on turn reeks of a flopped set or top two from a novice player but this guy I can't see raising the turn on flush draw.

It's a crying call but you have declared him as Agro so he could be overplaying Q9 or K9 as well as firing that river with air considering you played it so weak and passive.

If you are flatting the turn you need to fire a value bet on the river, I personally think check raising on the turn is another good option, make him pay to see the river, but that is read dependant as well.

+1

I definitely lead the river here.

Im guessing you folded?

Ill call here. I think he has a 9, and he will probably read you as having paired the flop.

in this hand, i was the villain and i had KQo.

horrible bluffs FTL.

i thought he was fairly weak though, i put him on a single pair of 9s.

i checked the bb instead of raising because i had stolen his sb limps 3 times in the last 5 orbits or so, and i didn't want him to shove.

as played he tanked until his last 2 seconds and made the call. but all in all, i didn't think it was a horrible move.

the check then turn min raise usually works well and gets folds a lot of the time, so when he flatted, i figured he had a pair but was weaker than 2 pair. then the scare card came on the river, so i thought it was a good opportunity to fire again, but it was not to be.

sometimes the lagtard in me jumps out and plays a hand like this
