Slow down?

[Prevaricator]

The 9 on the turn seems like somewhat of a scare card, but in this spot, most turn cards are. I probably pushed this on myself by raising pf (fold pf is better). . . Do I check the turn and prepare to chuck on the river?

It looks good to me. You isolated your opponent with a small pair, the flop looks safe so you keep pushing, the turn card isn't that scary (an early position limper might have a 9, but there's no particular reason to think so) and you avoided a possible check-raise on the river when the real scare card came.

I don't know what kind of game you were in. If you raised pre-flop with this and got two callers, it would be bad.

I raise in this spot PF

the hand looks fine to me. I think betting the turn is the best play

Keep in mind that on the Hand History, it lists Hero as CO, but in reality he is UTG. There is a slight error in the converter. I would muck this preflop.

Given that you raised it, I like the way you played the rest of the hand.
