Totally totally totally disagree. This is exactly what I was thinking about when I made the bet.
My range looks like a busted draw, but could be a pair+ draw. Also, there is no reason for him to discount an 8 from my range. 78, 97, JT, J9 are definitely in my range. We have no history, so to him, I'm a typical 1/2 player who can easily show up with 86, A8, or a very passively played AT.
This is an AWFUL bluff catching board for a bare 9, ace high, and small pocket pairs. The only thing he beats is diamonds, and I haven't narrowed my own range to him that much.
