    I highly doubt you're playing some 12/9/0.7 style to warrant even thinking about folding a straight here.
    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    I'm just talking about this comment:

    Yes I think most villains will snap JT, after going into c/c down mode on the turn and playing it passively.

    This guy was a very decent reg. Any winning regular in the 1/2 SH ftp rush game is going to be a very good solid player. In my opinion it was the toughest 200nl game on the planet.

    So I don't understand whether you're saying that you are expecting him to make a bad play, or if you are in fact advocating that calling the river with JT is the correct play?

    My stats in the ftp rush game are 19/17/10%.

    I mean, I don't really get some of the hands you post. If you're 110% sure on all your reads and how you perceive villains will play all their hands, then posting the hand becomes kind of useless.

    Nonetheless, if you are bluffing with 89 here (which seems to be a very reasonable hand to at least be checking back the turn with). Then I don't think its unreasonable that other potential hands in your bluffing range will include some of TT, T8, 9T, AT, Tx, 68 etc. In which case, yes, I think calling JT is the correct play.
