Just unlucky here. With villains stats we're never folding this. This is why I don't play ace rag though, even on BTN. You're never sure if you're ahead

IT was a standard steal lol no one else in the hand This is what I GET!!!! ARRRGGGGGG lol im over it, but i even felt behind on the turn....

It was like " this cant be this easy...." lol i was right. I would have rather ran into a set TBO lol at least then Id have a reason to say " ok even I do that so I just got unlucky" anyways im over it

Cooler from a drooling half-stack. Don't sweat it.

It's pretty conservative to fold A9 on the button, but unless you're consistently opening 3.5x, I'd just make it my normal open size.

Once you open and flop trips, it's hard to avoid doubling him up.

when he calls the flop alarm bells should start going off immediately, he's only calling flush draws, 77+ all of which he should fold to a double barrel on the turn, i think just betting around 0.50 into a 0.74 pot should get the job done, i don't see sense in over betting the pot, when he raises us on the turn we have to assume we're up against either trips or a boat of some sort and maybe sometimes we can get away, this is not to say that you should fold and in fact i'm probably never getting away either considering villains stats, it's just one of them hands we just have to pay him off we don't have a choice after we bet the turn. cooler, better luck next time

Yea i would have to be pretty sick to fold that

NO lie i my feeling told me to. Everything about me said I was out kicked. I convinced myself he was going for the flush draw, as most fish do, anyways a cooler that is most difficult to avoid.
