    Hi everyone, this hand is from Jeff Boski’s special $5.50 bounty tournament he hosted on ACR last night. Action folds to me (Th3V3ryB3st) OTB, and this happens. I feel like I played this hand well until the river, where I was bamboozled by the shove.

    My thoughts before I made the call were “If he has A9, Q9, or T9, good game, you got me. But now thinking back at the shove at such a small pot, maybe I should’ve just gotten away. I’m curious to see what y’all think!

    Feel free to critique any and all areas of this hand from sizing, decisions, etc from start o finish.

    As played, I think I would’nt have gotten away.

    But I think I would’ve bet the turn. Then if villain c/c, I’d probably bet the river also, and reevaluate if he shoves. I’d bet turn ’cause we have value to get from 9x, and a heart.

    My humble opinion 🙂

    Pretty tough to make a good flush and have to consider folding. I read Chuck’s response before I saw the hand, and I have a harder time assigning realistic ranges when I can see villain’s hand. But what hand makes sense to shove on the river. Only quad nines, full houses and air. I can’t believe that villain would think he was shoving for value with anything less than a boat. Could I have gotten away form it? That would depend on my read of the opponent and the situation in the tournament (how many left, how close to money, etc.) After watching the hand a second time, calling a preflop raise, check calling the flop, checking the turn and shoving on the river is just not a typical bluffing line. I’d like to think I’d sniff this one out, but I could see his hand. I agree that betting the turn is the way to go. Villain’s turn call would make it easier to get away on the river.
