    Default River Push -EV?

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
    4 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $79.85
    Button: $70.05
    SB: $46.40
    Hero: $53.40

    Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with Q 9
    UTG folds, Button raises to $1.75, SB calls, Hero calls.

    Flop: 9 5 K ($5.25, 3 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, Button bets $4, SB folds, Hero calls.

    Turn: A ($13.25, 2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $10, Hero calls.

    River: 9 ($33.25, 2 players)
    Hero is all-in $37.65, Button folds.
    Uncalled bets: $37.65 returned to Hero.

    Results:
    Final pot: $33.25

    The bet on the turn suggests to me that he is either trying to push me off the flush draw or senses weakness and so is trying to just push me off my hand. Since the flush draw missed, should check-raising have been the standard play here?

    IMO your push is an example of a situation where stronger hands will call and weaker fold.

    The turn call is a little dicey.
