    bet the flop smaller, also shove the river yourself, he has an underpair so much more often than he has you beat imo

    I think you played it fine. The check/call on the river might be questioned by some. Obviously a lot of flush and straight draws got there, but you only need to be good around 25% of the time for that to be a profitable call. If you think bluffs, and pairs 99 to QQ make up 25% of his range then it's a call. Personally I'm making the call too.

    The chaser put in 60% of his stack making calls with a draw, then got there on the river. He was lucky this time but in my opinion that play will cost him a lot of chips over time. T9s is a hand that plays very well and his open raise is good, but I don't think the implied odds are good enough to flat a 3-bet for 10% of your stack preflop with suited connectors.

    That you Quinn?

    half pot flop 3/4 pot turn IMO.

    But i suspect going broke anyway if oppo calling 30% stack on flop, tbh prefer a shove from him, given stationing 30%.

    Dont hate flop bet, looks like strong cbet, willinduce action mostly, but as we have K's half pot seems fine..

    Just UL mostly.

    why would you c/c? what air does solack have in his range that he gets to the river with? he has pairs in his range that will call a shove that he probably won't bet himself, and he never checks back better. shoving is far better than c/cing.

    Very unlucky bigal36903,

    just wish I'd been as "brave" as SoLack with my suited connectors,

    as I said after, I folded 4/5 diamonds, results orientated FTW, :(
