I'd probably bet the turn here, and i don't really think you can fold to his river bet after you check the turn.

Looks like you got the flush rivered on you. Only line that makes any sense by villain. And please bet hard on the turn.

Tbh Im not even calling preflop. Id call a minraise but thats about it. Couple things you could do after the flop. Betting is fine, but I think checking might be okay(and then betting the turn if he checks again). As played, I bet the turn, and probably call the river.

You have to bet that turn. Were you actually scared that he was holding a 3? If he has an Ace, especially a good one, he's either CBing that flop or check-raising. He's not check-calling the flop and then checking again on the turn.

Bet turn. Call as played.

I don't mind the way you played the hand at all..I'd flat here preflop too with position in a blind battle..Flop I likeTurn, I know everyone says bet but if you bet here, you are committed to his stack..He has about 900 behind and the pot is 700 so at this point, I'd try to take a relatively cheap showdown and reevaluate riverAfter checking turn, I call river for sure

I am not sure whether I like a turn bet or not. My reasoning for checking is that I thought it was kinda unlikely he is on a FD and any bet would tie me to the pot. There are only a few hand combinations in his range that are on a flush draw since the Ah is on the board. I like sennin's comments about preflop, but I do think it's an ok call as I am getting 2:1 in position and I probably have more than 33% equity against his range. I would like to get some feedback on what you guys consider his raising range to be from the SB though. Anyway, he showed A8o. Not too sure about how I feel about his line or mine.

Ya you're right, you dont wanna get tied to this pot with a hand like A9. I think you could almost check the flop and turn and either call or value bet the river depending what he does. My line would probably be check-bet-call 70% of the time, and the other 30 id check-check-call/bet. I think its always best to keep the pot small when you dont have a premium hand and the blinds are still quite low.

Im surprised at the "fold PF" comment. To me A9 is a reraise b v b unless stacks are awkward, then its a no brainer call.

yeah, I probably go with a flop check for pot control/deception, bet/call turn and a small value river bet/call river, unless his bets are huge/i get check-raised, etc.

Its simply not worth it, especially in a $6 sng. You're never gonna be able to commit all you're chips to a hand like A9 this early unless you flop trips or 2 pair. If you call and miss the flop, he'll bet a decent amount of the time and you'll have to fold it. If you hit the flop you'll either be betting or calling but you'll never really know where you stand(unless you flop big like i said). I just think its pointless playing non premium aces to raises when the blinds are still low.

You have position which promotes the value of your kicker tremendously. He is raising on a very wide range and you are most likely ahead. Your raise almost always buys 4 cards.

Without reading other responses, most of the time I'm raising preflop. With the flat call (which I dont hate BTW...just like a raise here better against a potential steal), I like the postflop line you took, and the river is an easy call. I like the turn check for pot control, and it allows you to call a reasonable river bet that will be a bluff a significant portion of the time. I'm not overly concerned about the free card for the fd in a heads-up pot.
