Question
In your six-max game it's folded around to a weak player on the button who raises to $6. The small blind folds and you call in the big blind. The flop comes 7
8
9
and you lead for $12. He calls and the turn is the 3
. You bet $30 and he calls. The river comes 9
. You bet $88 and he shoves.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Call
You flopped the nuts on a very coordinated board. Chances are if your opponent flopped a set he would have raised there, trying to charge a straight draw. Because he just called, he either has a top-pair-type hand or a draw himself. The draws bricked and the top card paired, so when he shoves it's likely he either has a naked nine or a busted draw.
