Hey guys,
I hope you don't get fancy about the threadtitle
I wanted to describe the spot so that you know what you have to expect. I still have no stats nor special reads on Villain.
I guess, preflop it could be a 3bet as well, right?
The Flop looked OK to me, although the 9 would be a very scary straight, I had an open ender with backdoor flushdraw, this is why i called - the odds were also nice and the price fair enough I guess. Usually Villains have more often sets or toppair or overpair or gutshots than strong draws.
On the Turn I was thinking about raising, but even before I saw the action I decided to not do it because I would very likely have not much fold equity and I should be afraid of being dominated by higher flushs and straights.
When MP raised the UTG cbet I decided to fold, reasons see above (pushing was no longer an option when I saw this strength) and for calling I guess I didn't have the outs.
Would you agree with that line? What would you do better?
