Feels like a fold, any info on villian would be helpful :)

I would have c|r more on the flop. The way he has played it I think a flush and k j are unlikely. I would put him on a set or an overpair. At the level I play $15 comps I would likely call without any specific reads? We lose to QQ and TT but beat 55 KK AA which has more combos out there.

See what you're saying but really don't think he ever shoves AA or KK on the river unless to turn it into a bluff, he has 55 sometimes, but may 3b the flop with that. Other than that, beat QT which I think he just flats me on the river with.

He has alot of flush combos imo. This hand is alot more interesting if the flop is  Th 9d C5 and he takes this line i think as there is a ton of combos he now cant have

I think that you have to try and ignore the fact that you have a flopped set, because, on this board, you are pretty much only beating a bluff.
I think that villian will show up with  6h 7h or similar often enough to make this a FOLD.

Sigh food unless you have specific villain info to know he does his with 55, qt or could turn JQ into a bluff. As played and against random you gotta click the fold button

Villain has a super easy bluff shove if I'm folding 99 here though, means I'm folding more or less my entire range.

True, i dont think your getting exploited all that often in a 50fo tho vs a random. Just think he has it

Vs random I'd c/r turn jam river as played fold now. They won't be looking to exploit you if they are bad and if they are good they are playing. 10+ tble so won't do anything pre antes

Yeh I was pretty sure I was beat...so I called and was pleasantly surprised he had Ts 8s :P

don't like c/raising the turn at all pads, he's checking back SO OFTEN imo.

agree

o bet small really turn to try to get him to take off/make sure we get lot vs his value hands.

Very easy/standard fold imo

 Th Xh 9h Xh, 7h 8h Kh Jh, Qh 8h (that makes a striaght i know but still) Jh 7h, 6h 7h  are all pretty possible IMO

You're range is strong OTR but prolly shouldn't have many flushes (we don't block a single combo either) so I see what you're saying that your oppo has flushes and you have very few giving him a really good spot to bluff, I think if we need to get into super balancing ourselves here then our adjustments need to be on the flop (c/r more as a bluff with like Jh 7h) than to be just bet calling the river into a range that a ton of legit value combo's.

This being said we dont need to do any of this in a 50f lol, just fold :)
