Trip 9s, no kicker. Bleh

[PoBoy321]

Interpoker .5/1

The only reason I bet the flop was because I was in the CO with 2nd button, so I figured that I only had to worry about the button having a J and I didn't want to give any free cards to let over cards hit. After that, I caught the best possible card to help my hand. I'm just not sure if I should have value bet this river.

Also, I hate my turn bet. I know I should have bet more. bleh.

Agreed: bleh. Also, no worse hand is calling you on the river. I check/call.

You already know it but out of position with straight and flush draws possibilities on the turn and $16 in the pot, I'd probably push the turn. By the time you hit the river, theres still 3 others in the pot. I dunno if i would value bet with so many people still in the pot.

Actually, I was in position, in the CO. I know it would have been best just to check behind, but of course, I'm an idiot. To the check/raise all-in, the pot was big enough that it was laying me something like 4 or 5 to one and I could definitely see a misplayed QJ or something in this spot, so I figured I'd call and just pay it off if I was wrong.

Either way, it was my own damn fault.
