Villian seems to be pretty good. 24/19/3 (40 hands)
Im pretty sure he doesn't raise a ten. AT I don't know but i think he's just gonna call with that too.

I have played pretty aggro, but no big pots so far. 26/22/4

$2/$4 No Limit Holdem
5 players
Converted at weaktight.com

Stacks:
Hero ($445.25)
CO ($332.50)
BTN ($394.00)
SB ($270.40)
BB ($283.80)

Pre-flop: ($6, 5 players) Hero is UTG 9

Hero bets $14, CO calls $14, 3 folds

Flop: 8

($34, 2 players)
Hero bets $24.20, CO bets $67, Hero

If you call, turn plan?

I think the best plan is to let it go on flop but if you call I would check any turn and then call again if not a spade. Probably check/folding river depending on betsizing and the board, sometimes call down though. More tempting to call down if high cards hit turn and river since your hands is pretty face up and most people dont try to bluff you off overpairs on 3 streets.

I need his raise cont bet frequency to be 10% or more for this to be ok.

Isn't it better to c/r all-in on a safe turn if I want to continue??

I dont think so. Your line looks weird so he will look you up with a 10 which is a disaster. Also most players gives up on the river if you call turn so you will often get a free showdown. This is tough all the way and you have to know something about his bluffing patter. If you have a note: "never fires 3 barrels as a bluff" and thats actually includes a lot of players, this hand will play so much easier.

Well, don't you think that he checks behind a lot of his draws on the turn?
