Easy fold…

a bit funny he was almost drawing dead on the flop, and still he ends up losing all hes money

i think sometimes these high stakes players online get a bit to fancy…

Why reraise the shortstack with 98s, instead of taking a flop, if he calls your reraise you are going to be out of position… And last why i GODS name did he not lead the flop to get some information. i think he could have gotten a way from this hand a LOT cheaper,

Fold. Just a gut feeling. A bit too fishy for my liking.

I’d fold. Such a scary river card. David’s play only makes sense with KJ or Q10. AK is a possibility but he won’t flat call two pot size bets with that. You got to think he’s got trips or straight. Possibly even a suckout JJs… but unlikely. Trip 9s? it would make sense to slow play that. It could be a horrendous bluf with AK or KQ on the river for a steal on a scary board, but taht’s also very unlikely. FOLD. 9/8s oop with two flat calls and a push?… bad deal.

I would have folded the hand pre-flop. Why play this hand out of position with a possible all-in pre-flop from the button? I would fold the river, but not easily. There are just too many hands that beat me. I actually would have predicted Benyamine was holding JJ for a set on the river or a possibly QT for a strait on the river.

What about the all-in push by Benyamine? Seems like to me the only reason you make that big a re-raise is that Benyamine put his opponent on JJ and was hoping to get paid off? Or did he know his opponent so well that he sits on the monster and then makes that push knowing he gets paid off?

I think alot of these players raise preflop so they have more value with AK/high pockets because the other players know they could of raised with SC’s. But onto the hand, I would probably have folded here because I dont see any possibility of a bluff and I dont think he would reraise here with anything less than 2 pair. Too fishy for me

My (incorrect) read here was pocket jacks for Benyamine. He’s worried about the overcard on the flop, worried about a check-raise on the turn, then hits the set on the river. So I voted fold, but for the wrong reason.

I call, but wouldn’t be happy about it. As mentioned by the staff, your hand only has to be good here about 1 in 5 times for this call to make sense. However, I’ve got a strong suspicion that you are beat here.

Benyamine’s hand is either very good on that nonscary flop (hits a set) or he takes a free card towards a draw or hoping to hit something on the turn.

When Benyamine flat calls the turn, there’s a chance he’s on a draw such as JT or 76 hoping to get paid off if the river hits.

The turn does completes a couple of draws, QT and T7, but would he really call on a gutshot?

When he pushes on the river after Jeff has committed over half his stack, I don’t think he can assume that Jeff has air and that he can fold, so I don’t see him jamming a missed draw here.

So, the most logicial hand seems to be a slowplayed set on that very nonscary flop.

So, I think it’s very likely you’re beat here, just not sure if you’re beat 4 times out of 5.

Lets play the hand back, you reraise he smooth calls, flop comes, at that point if he is chasing then he has Q,10 and is on a gut shot straight draw (Not likely). You check he checks, which means he is trying to see a free card or he is slow playing to give you time to catch up, You bet he flat calls, which means either he is chasing trying to see another card or he has a made hand and is still slow playing, Since I can’t put him on Q,10 and AK,KQ,KJ would have warranted a raise after my 6500 bet. I have to put him on a set 44,99,KK in the pocket. Which one? Don’t know but either one beats me a clear sign to fold.

Only thing I have to say is how funny I find it that whenever it ends with villain having a set, 50% of the people that post say “you have to put him on a set”. No, you don’t.
