No HUD stats worth anything as I'm only 5 mins into session and haven't played this level recently.
As a general theme pretty much everyone has seemed loose/passive so far.
Preflop ($0.15) Drarr is BN with 9 T 5 J
hjpoker71 raises to $0.35, 2 folds, Drarr raises to $0.60, 2 folds, hjpoker71 calls $0.25
Double suited with some straight potential although not keen on the 5.
Obviously UTG raiser should be stronger than my hand, although I think my hand has enough potential so raising to isolate and would fold to a decent sized four-bet.

Should I even be bothering with this hand here and if so is raise ok?
Flop ($1.35) A 8 6
hjpoker71 checks, Drarr bets $0.85, hjpoker71 calls $0.85
As he didn't re-raise me preflop and checked flop I'm not really giving him credit for AA. If he had a single Ace I don't think he would give me credit for having AA, plus as he is UTG his with one pair his kicker would be probably be strong. I would imagine he would lead out here in those cases on this dry board to prevent me from improving with a check behind.

When he checks I figure he's either weak or going for the check/raise. I've got some backdoor potential but only a 7 can improve me on the turn. I'm thinking best to rep a strong hand here with a significant bet, although I don't want to make it too big mainly because I wouldn't bet too big on this board with a strong hand.

OK or should I have just taken the free card? Is bet size of 60-odd% ok?
Turn ($3.05) A 8 6 J
hjpoker71 checks, Drarr bets $1.92, hjpoker71 calls $1.92
His check here has confused me a bit, I'm assuming he has a single Ace now, as there's very little else I can see him just calling with. Maybe something like KK66 or QQ88, but I think he would have been more aggressive if he hit that hard.

The Jh has both helped and hindered me. I don't really want to see the flush come in and have him bet into me. At the same time it has given me some straight outs and I could still be in good shape if I catch two pair or the flush hits.

I opt to barrel him again here to try and get him off a one pair hand. I think that if I check now, while I can improve on the river there are a lot of cards that can fall and put me in a tough spot if he leads out.

Bet or check behind?
River ($6.89) A 8 6 J 9
hjpoker71 checks, Drarr checks
I'm pretty sure I'm good here although I think its pretty clear he's not folding a stronger flush and there's not much he can check/call with if I'm ahead.

I just want to say "Hi" as I've only just signed up and I'm enjoying the videos and reading through the posts.
This is kinda typical of some spots I'm been finding myself in over the past few days.
Thanks for reading through this and giving me your opinions and I look forward to interacting with you all in the future.
