Hero (CO): 285 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 9♦ A♦

fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.6 BB, fold, fold, BB raises to 8.2 BB, Hero calls 5.6 BB

I decided to call the 3bet. I was IP with a speculative hand. Now I'm thinking that was a mistake. He wouldn't raise that much with any card. That was hardly a bluff, he must have been holding the top of his range.

Flop: (16.8 BB, 2 players) A♠ Q♣ 9♠
BB checks, Hero bets 11.2 BB, BB calls 11.2 BB

Floped 2 pair, and bet 2/3 of the pot.

Turn: (39.2 BB, 2 players) K♥
BB checks, Hero bets 26 BB, BB raises to 52 BB, Hero calls 26 BB

I raised thinking K was a good scare card. He checked-raised me, I was hoping he was holding a smaller 2pair so i called...

River: (143.2 BB, 2 players) 7♦
BB checks, Hero bets 95.4 BB, BB calls 55.8 BB and is all-in

And here I shoved... Should I have just checked back?

Spoiler

Hero shows 9♦ A♦ (Two Pair, Aces and Nines)
(Pre 31%, Flop 9%, Turn 5%)
BB shows Q♠ Q♦ (Three of a Kind, Queens)
(Pre 69%, Flop 91%, Turn 95%)
BB wins 242.2 BB

Fold this PF, would avoid this post-flop complication. River I think it will depend on the villain, with no info having to check back because I do not believe that with AJ or AT the villain would pay, but if you have his note of callinstation bet would be good.

GL!

i think folding turn is the right move here. When you think about this you beat nothing but a spew. This Nitty guy never has Q9/K9 here which are the only "value" hands you beat. The way he played it, it screams of KK and i think his range is merely AA,AK,KK,AQ,QQ.

Fold preflop,no need to defend that wide. Viliain represent slowpaly AA or KK OTT, no 3bet on 81hand.OTR is check back.
