J9o in the BB, fight or run away? (1 Viewer)

I think Villian filled up with his pocket 4's.

I think villain has 93 suited and just got counterfeited.

I think villain had 2c and a draw four.

I like leading turn. River is a check call unless you put button on a lower pair and think he is more likely to call than bet.

Hero calls.
He has well played even if showdown isnt winning.

All of this.

Hero calls.

Villain tables Hero mucks. No doubt villain was valuing the runner-runner flush and straight draws. K6o really isn't a terrible preflop hand three handed on the button. Not good, just not terrible

Hero's turn and river check/call lines where intended to let Villain have a chance to bluff. It was unfortunate that villain caught a king to run Hero down. For what it is worth, I doubt that villain folds once he makes top pair but a flop raise from Hero would likely have done the trick {maybe}

I think raising the flop is overplaying your hand 3 handed. I also this you played your hand well vs this opponent, and really the runout is really good for an opponent that often semi bluffs draws. If your opponent was competent I think it's a pretty easy fold on the river because it's really a terrible card to bluff.

Rough that he caught that king (and the other king), but these things happen.

One thing that may be worth noting about this villain is whether he would have ever made that river bet as a bluff. Some villains who are clueless about relative hand values may bet somewhat hands there but will never go for a pure bluff on the end with an apparently valueless hand. That could be a spot where we could've saved money.
