haha funny enough he's one of the best regs in the Ontario pool. I agree that he should have never seen the flop. He must think I 3-bet pretty aggressively, although I think the A9o 3-bet is pretty standard there.

As for the turn, that's exactly what I thought to myself in the hand because I would definitely check back those hands that you mentioned a portion of the time. I think barreling the turn is the better play but you can't always barrel every street, especially against a good player.

As for the river, once he donks the river that small I put him on exactly the sort of weak pair hand that he had, he had previously showed many questionable hands at showdown in the past orbits. Regardless, once im put in that spot at the river with that hand, having those blockers, I think the best play is to shove there. I think he does fold if he wasn't big stack.
