Bet Poker Prop

So you made it all the way to the river. Say you hold a mid-pair like a 9c-9s in the hole. The flop came 9h-7h-5d. Standard bets and calls followed. The turn came 8c. Again a standard bet and call. Now the 4h peals off on the river. This scare card may have made a flush for your opponent. What to do?

River Strategy

With this board your opponent bets two-thirds of the pot representing that he made his flush. What is clear is that either he made it or he didn't but being first to act he decided to represent the flush. You hold a set of nines. A flush definitely beats you. Because your opponent bet into you you might want to succumb to the pressure and fold but is that the right decision in this case?

When all the cards are out, there are no more draws, no cards to come, your opponent has two choices if you are behind him in late position. He can either check or bet. In this case your opponent bet. If he didn't make his flush the river heart is a scare card not only to you but to him as well. Knowing this and knowing that at this point in the action there are four possible hands your opponent may hold.
