To me it seemed a little strange that these two were calling such big raises without somethig very quality, they were new to the table so i don't know anything about their style. I thought perhaps someone is slowplaying trips and i might get reraised at the end, flush wasnt really a concern. results are below.














JPS19: checks
catoosaslick: checks
Unrelenting: checks
*** SHOW DOWN ***
JPS19: shows [Ad 9s] (a pair of Nines)

i dont like checking the river in first position. it paves the way for a huge bluff repping the flush...and considering that its 3 way, how much are you willing to call with just an overpair?


if you had position id like checking behind, but i think with this much at stake you cant let it get out of your control. i lead for 1/2 pot.

i agree there with journey..but what did you have left on the river..9 bucks or so? i'd probably push right there..
