Hero shows A:spade: 9:club: (Flush, King High)
(Pre 19%, Flop 38%, Turn 100%)
Hero wins 9 BB


Should I have raised at some point? I figured it was pointless, as they wouldn't call with worse hands than what I had. Putting me at unnecessery risk in case they do have a better hand.

Would you raise, and why?

I'd not open A9o from co. It's as bad as a hand as it could get. But I do play a bit tighter

But if you are trying to iso the UTG, you should raise a lot bigger.
Like upto 8 cents minimum. I'd normally go around 10 or 12

could of course put a small bet on the turn... but bet on the river should be thrown

His sizing is too small but this is a pretty standard raise for value, even without a limper. I'd only ever think about not opening here if the players behind 3b a ton, and they haven't 3b once. I'd iso as low as A7o against a fish limping over 50% of hands, and any suited. I'd raise something like 35%-40% of hands in this exact spot.

And for post flop, we got the 3rd nuts and the fish certainly isn't folding a flush so I bet river about half pot.

My shortcut buttons are qet for tourneys. I should probably change them when I play cash games. I was lazy and raised to 0.06 instead of 0.07 (which I have to type in manually). Interesting though that you say minimum 0.08, up to .12!
I should probably look into bet sizing more.

As for the A9o... Yeah as Iplay said he had a wide range and i was in position so i figured why not.

i would definetely throw out a bet on the river since the only thing beating you is the jack of clubs and i really do believe the villains would pay you off since they have a flush too. the bet doesnt have to be too big and i would probly fold to a 3bet on the river if it was a really big bet.
