Very weird played hand. Is this just a cooler or could I have lost less?
Very important to note I played a hand previously with this player. In that hand he 3bet JTs, checked back QJ3, then made a small raise on a blank turn after I bet into him. He then checked back the river.
I think my play up to the river is standard. When he raises the turn I'm not very concerned about having the worst hand as I've seen him make this play with marginal hands in the past. When the river pairs the 9 I decided to bet small for value as I often think he has a weak ace and also a counterfitted A3 or A4 in his range, which he will check back on the river. He also has some 9x, A9, 44 and 33 so my plan was to fold to a shove on river. However when he min raises me I don't think I can fold getting approx 5:1
