Do you raise the river? How much?

I have no idea why I checked the turn, I must have timed out as I was doing 7 tables for the first time.

Is there any value in raising the river?

    Don't you think he's likely to spa zz shove Ax at this level and take me off a split?

    how are you splitting with Ax? I think the majority of players at this level are only shoving if we're beat tbh.

    oh yeah I misread the hand lol, i'd still raise though!

    I doubt a 9 or a flush is folding too much to a smallish raise at this level.

    If you are folding houses at this level then it's time to have a major rethink of your game. Raise INIT

    It's a 1 card full house, it's hardly the nuts.

    At this level, an awful lot of the time the guy will call most raises with the 9. So make it around £3 - £3.50.

    lol, it might be a 1 card fh, but come on- it's the nut house!

    The only hand on this entire board that has you beat is 99, are you seriously contemplating flatting? There's no straight flush, he can't have quad aces, but he can easily have a stupid donk flush which calls, and he definitely can have 9's full and call or even spa zz out, as you said, and shove. With this level of play you have to be putting your stack in IMO...

    AT beats us too. Not than I'm ever folding.

    But it's an easy raise and an easy call to a shove. Although rake will be the winner if this happens!

    I was worried that he would shove Ax if I raised
