NL5 - Bluff catch 2nd pair

On this hand, I felt like his range was likely to be over-cards, or some kind of PP.

When he checked back the turn I felt there was a good chance my 9's were good, but didn't see how I could get any value from betting myself - He would only call me with the stronger part of his range and fold the air.

On the turn I had planned to fold to a bet, I would have believed he had an overpair to the board, or at least a hand I wasn't going to beat.

Hi Philfox,

Preflop: I don't mind the 3-bet but the size is not great at all. You give him odds to call with a ton of hands in position and we just built the pot up with a weak hand.

I'd 3-bet at least 9-10 BB here if we go that route.

As played I like our river ck/call because villain will be able to take a stab with a really wide range (afterall we bet flop and "gave" up).

Pre flop my raise is 3 * villains bet, pretty standard I thought?
