i call too

[TheChipPrince]

I'm folding that, stinks of a 9...   

[Robert HM]

99

[sharpy]

I'm folding here,no-one pushes with the arse end of the straight here

[NoflopsHomer]

I called, I couldn't believe he had 99 else he'd have bet more on the flop vs multiple opponents. My turn raise represents real strength here so surely he puts a smaller bet in to have sets/two pairs pay him off on the river. The shove just makes no sense to me even with a nine, I don't think he puts me on the straight either because I'd have probably raised less on the turn. Even less likely give how the hand plays is him having a 4, 54 suited shoves the turn I think and any other 4 doesn't shove the river, as Sharpy said for obvious reasons.

All these factors added up to me calling. He showed JTo.

Good/Bad call?

[sharpy]

Ballsy call this early in the tourny....I couldn't

Smells like Nines. As someone else said, very few players stuff it all in on a river like that.

I'm surprised you didn't raise the flop as there aren't too many turn cards you're going to like.

Who bets 1/4 pot with nines there vs 3 opponents? I thought that bet signified he was incredibly strong or incredibly weak.

I would have raised then to find out how strong he was, put him to the test as they say. What are you hoping for with 7-4? Surely top pair's good enough to stick in a raise, especially with a hand so vulnerable to a turn card.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

I probably raise the flop too tbh.

But the way the hand is played out i have to call the river there.

He called a re-raise on the Turn, so very unlikely he has nothing. An overpair would surely check? I'm very surprised to see J-T there.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Not if he puts you on a set/two pair etc.. He could also have Ax of spades, if the x is 9 then bl.

An overpair may check, but at the same time, doesnt a 9 value bet rather than shove?

He did have nothing.  I call on the river but raise flop.
