CO: $5.00
Hero (BTN): $19.15
SB: $15.36
BB: $18.84
UTG: $25.00
UTG+1: $25.00
UTG+2: $5.00
MP1: $9.08
MP2: $30.61

Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is BTN with Ah 9c
4 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.75
Standard button steal.

Flop: ($2.35) Tc Qs 6d (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($2.35) Qd (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero checks

River: ($2.35) Td (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets $2, MP2 calls $2
Checks all the way through. MP2 would have been more aggressive if he had a pair of anything. He definitely doesn't have a Q or T, nor any pocket pair in between. I am going to try to bluff at the pot. It is interesting that he calls my river bluff.

Final Pot: $6.35
Hero shows Ah 9c (two pair, Queens and Tens)
MP2 mucks Jh Kc
Hero wins $6.04
(Rake: $0.31)
What does he hope to accomplish by flatting the river? Does he think that K high will be good? Perhaps he puts me on a pocket underpair that is counterfeited by the 2 pair on the board? He knows that A is well in my PF raising range - ESPECIALLY on the button.

Nice hero call! Do you really think, on that scary board, with a straight and a flush potential out there, that a pair of 5's (particularly with a large-ish dollar-wise bet) is going to be good EVER? I bet all three streets. Poor call... Very poor call... He got up after this hand.
