The hand:
effective stacks: $350
I am in middle position with 99. EP player limps $3, I raise to $15, folded to SB who calls and EP calls.
Flop: T97r
check, check, I bet $40, SB calls, EP folds.
Turn: 4 (I don't think it put a backdoor flush draw on board)
check, I bet $70, SB calls.
River: K
SB checks, I stare at the board for 10 seconds trying to figure out what hands I would be able to get value from and...?
Grunch
His range: T8, TJ, KT, (QT would have folded turn so no on that one), AT.
Considering 253$ is in pot and you have ~225$ left you have two options (both of which consists of betting):
A - Shove, try and get max value, put the pressure on him with his AT/TJ/QT. You will get instacalled by KT (if you got that fortunate.)
B - bet between 95$ and 125$ (guarenteeing a call). AKA valuetown.
It's all read dependant on how capable villain is of making an all in call with TPTK or two pair on this board. I think QT+ is likey so I might opt with the valuetown. But again, I don't know villain personally/ I wasn't there so I don't know if he's capable of calling all in.
