xr'd after I bet my straight
Pretty sure this is bad.
V is quiet, haven't played with him much, he has earbuds and never says much. Seems to limp and chase too much. Not very aggressive that I have seen.
4/8 2 limps to me OTB I limp with 98♦, about half the time I throw in a raise here.
SB folds, BB checks.
Flop is QJ9, 2 hearts. 3 checks to me I bet my pair and gutshot. 3 calls. 4 BB pot
Turn is a non heart T, checks to me, I bet, BB raises, folds to me. 7 BB, I think I need to fold? He is telling me he has a K with his raise. Maybe a set or 2P.
I decide to call and the river is a non heart K.
V says something like' are you kidding me?' but then bets out. I call.

Raise pre. Check flop. Check turn.
Checking turn is mandatory. Honestly I'd probably fold to the check/raise against most players. Your hand looks like a king but he still check/raises. Even the dumbest of fish can read 4 to a straight on a 9TJQ board.
River I probably call doubt he has an ace and if he does NH
You absolutely have to check the turn.
River is definitely not a fold. You chop often enough to make this a call. Against a very specific villain type (too tight/straightforward and tries too hard to play well), I would consider raising the river as a bluff. But at a 4/8 game with a normal player type, I’d call 99% of the time.
As played I think the turn is a fold against a typical 4/8 player.
If I check the turn I am going to call that river if he bets. If he checks I check behind the river.
His AKo was good.
***I was thinking about this hand again and I mis-remembered the river action, he actually bet dark and then made the comment after the K hit.****
the money goes in better if you check the turn and bet the river if he checks again.
