I am getting decent price on the end and many draws do brick. I thought he could have 8
7
, that was my read of situation but I could be over thinking it myself. I thought if he had better made hand before the river that I would have already heard about it.
I call and he shows 9
7
Thoughts?
I suppose I could have put it together he was on a combo draw of sorts but I am not sure if he would bet A
4
there, for example.
