    Default 88 facing really wierd suspicious river bet

    Villain was around 40/4 ish and obviously very bad. Nothing about his river bet made sense unless he had like J9 or possibly a set. It really screamed busted draw to me though, thoughts?

    Seat 1: SNAYKSONAPLAIN ($251.45)
    Seat 2: The Big PAPA ($373.30)
    Seat 3: headzupdonkey ($230.75)
    Seat 4: Four2it ($282.05)
    Seat 5: baypac12 ($176)
    Seat 6: fatdogz ($95.35)
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN posts the small blind of $1
    The Big PAPA posts the big blind of $2
    The button is in seat #6
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to SNAYKSONAPLAIN [8d 8s]
    headzupdonkey folds
    Four2it folds
    baypac12 folds
    fatdogz folds
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN raises to $8
    The Big PAPA calls $6
    *** FLOP *** [2h 9h 3c]
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN bets $11
    The Big PAPA calls $11
    *** TURN *** [2h 9h 3c] [4d]
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN bets $25
    The Big PAPA calls $25
    *** RIVER *** [2h 9h 3c 4d] [Js]
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN checks
    The Big PAPA bets $88
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN has 15 seconds left to act
    SNAYKSONAPLAIN calls $88

    A5 fits if he's bad enough to never fold an ace preflop and expects you to bet the river. I couldn't ever fold here though.

    I dont know how much i like your turn bet, but, given how the flush didnt come in you have to call this bet.

    A lone nine checks behind on the river unless he made two pair

    I don't always keep betting the turn, but I was confident my hand was good and there were a lot of draws on the board.

    Turn seems like an easy bet against someone this bad.
