    Ok so my opponent in this hand, it was like his 4th or 5th hand at the table, so i really had no prior reads...Based on how this hand went down, i for sure put him on a club flush draw on the turn...when the river paired 9s on the river, i really didnt think there was any hand that would be played like this that would call if i bet, although you never know at these limits, the guy could have an ace for all i know. so anyways...on the river i check.(probably a mistake...) but i was thinking he was gonna check behind and fold if i bet anyways, but then he did something that surprised me...he bet $30 into the $20 pot...i thought about it, and figured he must have 9cXc... how badly did i misplay this hand and let him win the pot. I mean on any non-A, non-9, non club river, im firing about the size of the pot every time... what should i have done on this river (and other rivers?) Bet/Fold to a raise, Bet/Call a raise, check/call, other ideas? Thx for any advice.

    I would have made a half size pot bet on the river . You cannot be thinking that he has a 9 and called your turn bet with nothing , unless he planned on bluffing you out on the river which may be possible .

    In this case , the river bet is definitely a bit suspicious and it looks as if you're up against a bluffer or he may have a weak ace . It doesn't hurt to call him up once in a while to assess your read on him for future plays.
