Hero???
I'm already upset with myself at this point for not shoving the flop - it would have put both players all-in and I'm fairly sure at least one of them would haver folded. My reads on the players are UTG is probably on an over pair - he has big problems putting other players on hands and probably doesn't even see the flush draw or the straightening cards on the board. He also has no concept of how it's a bad idea to bet $20 into a pot that's already got over $105 in it. It's UTG+1 who has me worried. I'm easily putting him on K,Q here, perhaps with both of them being diamonds. He'll call on a draw for sure, but I've never seen him put ALL of his money in the pot with anything but a very strong hand. I realize at this point it's $55 to me into a pot with $180.5 in it, but I'm extremely tempted to fold and hang on to the $55.
So my question is, should I call and hope he's 2 paired or hope for the board to pair on the river? Also, am I right that I should have showved on the flop rather than betting the pot? And should I have re-raied pre-flop with 9s?
