RIVER [board cards 9D,7S,10C,2C,9C ] buggesaar checks, pockett checks, amargendon bets $15, buggesaar folds, pockett I havent really been watching the table so i dont have any reads, but ive been playing very solid.
You are in this position as you didn't bet the turn. I think he is trying a steal having opened with an AKo or AQ He might be suited and got the backdoor flush though. From your stack you look as if you have been doing OK so go ahead and call.
It's hard to put them on a flush because the $5 call in the flop would be stupid unless the were holding 2 clubs that helped them draw to the straight.
I don't play short handed tables, so I'm not familar with the starting hands people usually open with 3bb's.
You really can only beat a bluff so I'd be folding.
I think $15 is a little hefty for a steal attempt. Pairs the board, backdoors the flush... just too much happening here to call that fraction of the pot.
