Perhaps he flopped a set of 9 or T and decided to slowplay on the flop, although with the draws out there you'd think a flopped set would bet here...hard one...I dunno  |
Or he could've flopped a 4-flush, thought about betting it, then raised the turn on a semi-bluff given all the possibilities you'd have to consider.
I'm leaning towards the "flopped a set", though. He might've been tempted to bet it with the draws available, then realized nobody had semi-bluffed their draws (a likely move), so decided to slow-play afterall and now wants to apply some pressure given said multiple possibilities.
The only hand you're losing to right now is AJ. That's pretty unlikely given you're holding one of the Js, even though it might be consistent with his play. Calling pot-commits you, so you'd might as well push here, and pray you don't see another
and the board doesn't pair on the river (another reason for pushing vs. calling; don't want to have to think about what to do if the board pairs). If he has AJ or he sucks out the flush or boat/quads on the river, then it's a tough break.
Why do I get the feeling he has AJ and another A falls on the river for a split pot?
