unless he is messing about I doubt we are winning when a guy limps UTG and takes off like this.

Suspect I"m calling here and expecting A9 rather than A4, not sure if I"m worried about anything else the way the hand plays out. Feel I"m ahead most of the time in this spot.

Grant, sorry mate, could I ask for your thinking on this, as to me the way the hand plays out is the exact reason why A9 is an unlikely hand. It is (imo) certainly less likely than A4. There are more combos of A9 but a high percentage of the combos of A4 may get played this way. A very low percentage of the A9 combos get played this way so to me of those two hands A4 is the more likely. 99 is also possible, 22 (that made a bad call on the flop) is less likely but also at least as possible as A9, probably more so given the action.
I might be wrong here though (I often am) so was wondering what the rational behind your thinking is :)

Well played on the turn - I like just calling the raise. Out of interest, did you think about re-raising? Were you calling because you thought you were winning or worried you were losing?

I was only really afraid of 99 too small a range to consider folding. I was committed to the hand but I didn"t want chase away his bluffs.

Just to calrify Steve it is zoom on stars. I think fast is generic term used by PT.

The hand he turns over is 44 for flopped quads.
I don"t know that I can learn a lot from this. Personally I dont like folding one pair hands simply because somebody plays back at me. I prefer to try and do hand analysis and continue in the hand if there is a limited range of hands that makes sense. This may not be the best way to maximising your short term profit but probably best for improving your game.
I think there are a fair amount of big bluffs at this level it"s just getting the timing right is the problem !!
