$Freeroll NL HE: In the BB & OOP - 2nd nut straight against 2/3 pot bet on river. Raise or flat?

I really don't post these kind of situations because most of the time they are obvious but I like to stay active on here so I'm posting a situation :top:

No stats on villain. I do have notes on him though & when playing from the blinds, he tends to slowplay hands a lot. The HE straight (any 9 or 9 10) & any flush beat me here, so what should I do? I'm scarrrrred :hmmmm:

It can easily be a steal, I dont think he has the flush because he didnt bet the turn, I would make a raise and if he comes over the top I would still probably call... what could he be slowplaying here? Anything worth slowplaying preflop is worthless on this board. If he does have T9 that just sucks. I hate it when nothing happens preflop to indicate strength of hand, but you cant really raise from the BB with 95o... :/

Uhmmm, I say no to that play but I would still like to hear your reasoning.

In terms of value it can be diminishing to your chip stack to bet the flop but I agree with this to help you see where you stand in the hand, no information preflop means we dont know where we stand in the hand. I think betting the draw would be a good idea on the flop as well just to see what SB does.

My two cents - limped pot, oesd, sb hasn't shown any strength. Doesn't have to be more than 1/2psb, we can still get away from the hand, but unless he paired the board, limped w a pair, or has a sd himself, it'll be hard for him to continue, esp oop. If he calls, we can also choose to check behind on the turn for a free river card.

I agree with salim271 don't think he hit that flush,think he woulda bet the turn if so.He could have a 5 for the lower straight but i'll put him on 8's.I would re raise him here and if he plays back just call.
