    Default A big fold?

    Villain is basically unknown. I was sitting at a 6 max table and he joined. We've only been playing hu for 15 hands or so he seems decently aggressive has 3 bet a couple of times and not doing anything overly fishy. He hasn't been calling oop very much.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (2 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($200)
    BB ($206)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 9, T.
    Hero raises to $6, BB calls $4.

    Flop: ($13) 9, 7, J (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: ($13) 8 (2 players)
    BB bets $6, Hero raises to $22, BB calls $16.

    River: ($57) 4 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $40, BB raises to $122, Hero?

    i'd pot the turn, or raise something closer to 30

    you only beat a bluff and since it's a credible flush line in a big pot from an unknown i'd fold. straights 3bet the turn, sets c/c the river.

    Heads-up I'd look this up.

    I really don't get the flop check. Makes it so much harder to define his hand.

    I totally disagree.

    I challenge you to play someone HU and check behind every flop. Play 1k hands like this and then tell me if checking behind flops makes hand reading any harder.

    I checked the flop cause I couldn't continue to a c/r which he could be doing fairly often on this board. Also I had no reason to believe I'd get multiple streets of value from worse at this point in the match.

    I realized that I had a big station leak so I just wanted to double check that my fold was ok here.
