I feel like I played this hand well. Considering the opponent. He had been playing fairly tight for the 30 mins I had been at the table. When the 9 came on the turn...I seriously doubted he played a 9. He had only been playing high pp, AK, or AQ. He had also been caught on a couple bluffs. not only that but his bets were coming out as soon as it was his action. Almost instintanious. So I figured its either strength or a bluff. I figured if he had a beast...Why would he be betting so high? Wouldn't most people slow play on a beast hand? So I put him on AK, AQ, or a simple bluff. When you see the hand history you might think it was a donk call. Against almost anybody else...it's a fold. Let me know what you think??? Any suggestions???? Be honest. Was it a sick call or a donk call???

1/ you should have re raised big after flop to get rid of the flush draws ..check to begin ok. (obviously I would have been like you caught but, trips catch everyone)
2/ as for call on flop, he was beating you with a straight flush, four 9's, full house, flush, straight or pocket pair making trips. you should have let it go you only had 2 pair.
3/ If he had been playing tight but had been caught stealing before, then I would have put him on flush after the river (betting on draw previously hoping to win without having to catch) so I would have had to have folded.
Sorry I don't think you played hand well calling on river, my way would have been all in earlier, so I would definately lost all my chips, but you had an out after the river and didn't take it.
