Thanks for the input guys.

The villain showed:




for a big fat nothing.

Again I felt I had a good read on the guy, that he may of actually had a 9 and hence my re-raise. I felt he was a good player and that was why I figured he didn't have a good ace or a bad ace, and why I was hoping to get him to throw away his 9 if he had it. I had been throwing away hands at this table on the turn and being fairly aggressive, and I guess he figured I was a mark to be bluffed.

Normally I don't make fancy moves at this level, I bet out with good hands and generally make 1 stab at the pot with a bluff (raising pre-flop). I knew this guy was a better player, though no idea why he called my 3 bet on the turn .
