I hate how I played this hand.
Private game playing 2/4, normally is 1/2 and plays pretty passive. 6 handed.
Villain open limps, ~$800. Seemed LAGgy at first but now I think he has no clue what he is doing. Overvalues some hands, underreps strong hands, spazzy, all over the map so far. Has a very high VPIP. Have seen him call down light and chase draws. Previously bet turn and river with Q high (

Hero on the button with $600, raises with 5
6
to $16. Blinds fold and villain calls.
Flop is 9
Q
A
($38)
Villain checks, Hero bets $19. Villain calls.
Turn is 8
($76)
EDIT: Villain checks. I pick up a flush draw and a gutter, so this is a spot to barrel. Hero ignores this and checks.
River is 9
Hero checks, villain bets the pot. Hero folds.
I really hate that I didn't barrel the turn. (5
6
is pretty light to be raising with, but I was in position and the villains were pretty weak. This villain is better to just play strong hands and value hammer him. Add it to the heap of things I screwed up, but I did have a good night against this villain in particular when I played better spots.) There are at least 5 good reasons to barrel here. After pre and flop action, am I being overly harsh believing that checking the turn is really, really terrible?
