NLHT Turbo online heads up. Stacks relatively even, blinds fairly low.

You make a standard raise from the SB and get called. You have T9o.

Flop comes QJT flushy - same suit as your nine. You make a continuation bet,
and get called.

Turn is the Ace of the same suit again. Check, check.

River, 2 of the same suit, so there's now a flush on board.

Opponent waits a long time, then makes a 2xpot bet, which is just over half
his stack, and just under half of yours.

The *only* hand that beats you here is the king for the Royal Flush.

Call, push, or fold?

BTN

Fold. In my experience, the vast majority of times when a player takes an
excessively long time to make his decision and then throws out a big bet
he has the hand.

BTW, what was your logic behind raising from the small blind with 9To?
