I think you have to bet here to build the pot. SB will most likely fold, but nevboy may call. If he comes over the top I would not be afraid to push as you have a bunch of outs (assuming he doesn't have the same flush draw).

I would bet out 100.

[Scuba Chuck]

I check.

Yeah, this seems like a common spot.

Raising here seems so obvious, but I think it leaves more challenges then we really want. For example, the hope is we raise, and he weakly folds. If he 3 bets, I'd fold (chip spewing now), and the times that he calls, we're OOP on the turn.

Folding feels like someone took a $20 bill out of my pocket. It's not a lot of money to me, but I feel wronged.

on a K high board i would flat call no questions asked, but this is a 9 high board in a limped pot, and if i think i have a high percentage of taking the pot down here i raise. I am out of postion here and would like to take the pot down now, and if not take control at least. Villains bet looks like a standard check to me I'll bet im in postion line.

I do not like the check call line out of position because it is tough to get payed if i hit my hand. In position i can call and still extract the most value out of the hand if i hit.

I raised here.......

I don't really like the way you played the flop. I would check-call, but if I check-raised, I would raise enough that if he called me, I could push any turn. You've put yourself in a tough spot, especially out of position. Any bet pot-commits you, but the pot really isn't big enough to justify pushing all-in here. I try to avoid putting myself in these situations in a sit-and-go.

[Trikflow77]

i play aggro small ball until im pushing..........

500, stick rest in on any river.
