    Downswinging holla!
    Turn check is fine, induces bluffs and a way ahead / way behind situation. Hard to imagine you getting a bunch more value from a worse hand besides a bluff. River call is very standard. You check the turn and showed weakness, not to mention he could be value betting a worse ace. He didn't even make a real bet, you're getting like 3.5-1 and you're easily good that much. His bet looks so weak I almost want to raise for value (and would against some players who lead the river like that with AK/AQ). You definitely are at least calling the river, folding is not even an option.

    Any lost value on the turn from a weaker A? That is what I thought he had, with an outside chance of a 9.
    I figure the 9 raises my turn bet and I drop the hand, or is that too exploitable at my level?
