Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6197554, member: 305911"] I would 3x pre instead of 2.5x. I think raising is fine on the button unless you have aggressive players to your left. If so, they will 3 bet you and puts you (even in position) in a tough spot since you are closer to the bottom of your pre flop raising range here. On the flop, I like the bet and the sizing is fine imo. I would not go any smaller than 7 cents but I personally wouldnt exceed 9 cents so the play is good to me. The turn I can see either way and depends on villains. We have a hand that has so many outs so we dont mind getting raised here (unless it is huge) but at the same time we have only a pair of 9s and have nothing to protect with all the outs so checking behind is perfectly fine. We arent getting Qx to fold but we would get much greater value when we do hit the river if we bet on the turn. Thats why I say either way can be justified but in game I would probably check as you did. River is interesting of course with the trips happening. I dont think K9 and A9 plays the hand as villain has unless they have A of spades. I think your chances of being outkicked here are low so I am not folding. The decision of course is to raise or not. I am not sure how many if any one pair hands call a raise by us here or that lead the river here as most would check call. I prefer just calling here as this smells like a bluff (I am putting Jx in the bluff category) and I dont think many hands that arent a straight or better call a raise from us. So I just call here unless we know villain could bluff raise here... in other words I would not raise here without knowing before I raise that I am calling whatever villain would do. [/QUOTE]
