You must've thought you were ahead on the turn, yet checked?

Think that was the only real problem; you gave them a free card and it's possible they completed the flush leaving you with a tough call.

Very much doubt they had a straight.

Yeah checking then turn was horrible in hinsight,i was trying to conrol the pot though. i was worried about the initial raiser as it was the first hand he had played , an hour and a half into the tournament, thought he may have been sandbagging a big pair.
Then the flush hits on the river and yer man bets it. I'm gettin HUGE odds to call but am suspicous at the size of the bet. It really looks like he wants to get paid and i'm down to 5000 if i am wrong. Anyway, i fold and he shows me 9 8o. And i miss ou on the chance of moving up to 13000 in chips.
I cannot believe I folded/checked the turn.

Do you realise the kind odds your getting on this call !!! No way you can fold on the river.

There's not really that much difference between 5,000 and 6,500, but there's a huge difference between 6,500 and 13,000. That's why this is a call every time. Even if he'll have a flush here most of the time, it's still a call because of the HUGE odds you were offered.

58o

yeah like i said, i choked.no arguement with the fact that not calling on the river is awful. didnt take enough time to think it through.
what i'd really like an opinion on is how i played the turn
was the check really bad? All i have is 99 and 2 players(including an initial raiser who is TIGHT) have called a hefty flop raise???

jhegarty

have to call.... agree with that check on turn... I want to get to showdown with as small a pot as possible after the call on the flop...
