so ignore that the opponent is shortstacked...
do you agree or disagree with this aggressive play?
what do you do on flops like this? turn?

in my mind i see the betting of draws as more of a tournament style play... but when thee type situations come up i have a hard time not trying to be aggressive and give the person the opportunity to fold so i dont even have to hit my draw... what sucks is when i don't obviously
if this person was not short stacked i feel that i must check the river if i miss and thus fold to a large bet unless somehow i think my pair of nines are good.
honestly i think that this is a hole in my game and think that i lose alot of chips betting into people that are not capable of folding top pair shitty kicker .... or they might have top set and are letting me bet their hand for them either way i am losing.... cause its rare that i even hit my hand...none the less i feel compelled to bet.
i will work up the math later today....
