88, a pair of 9's on the board, and a donk

[Rockymv]

I didn't feel like the 9 would play it this way. Villian had been playing a lot of hands, and I felt like she was pretty bad. What do you do on the turn?

fold... i don't even think check/calling the flop was a good idea

He figures you must've had trip 9's on the flop so he's pushing because he has you beat.

[Irisheyes]

He could easily have a 9 in an unraised pot. I don't call the flop without position because you want him in a sticky place on the turn. Being in position makes this a much easier turn for him.

Since you checked preflop, you were following the "no set, no bet" plan, right? Then you didn't get the set, and there are overcards... so why'd you break plan?

If you thought she was playing too many, then a preflop raise could have been interpreted as a blind-move, narrowed the field, and given you the potential to go after the pot with a continuation bet.

Instead, you checked the flop and so didn't know if she was just pushing you around. If she's playing a lot of hands, she might be going A3s or something and actually thinks she's ahead.

anyway, my first impressions...
