I usually play tourneys and nl but have been playing limit a little lately to mix it up. So i have 99 here and I'm wondering if I'm too aggressive with it or what a better line might be although I didn't hate the way I played it.

You checked the river with the intention of doing what?

I would've just bet/folded the river because one of these morons should've played back at you if they had a K.

personally i dont think you were aggressive enough with it

i raise preflop, thats debatable, but with the poster i think its a good idea

Avoiding a checkraise from UTG+1, whose most logical holding is a spade draw. Players as bad as he is will incorrectly try to checkraise this river a lot. At least, that's what I remember from 2/4. At 5/10 I'd bet this river. At 2/4 I used to check it and then read the chat box as UTG+1 rants on how you should have bet the river so he could checkraise.

8-handed UTG+1 I would raise in this spot and bet/bet/bet.

The way its played it looks a tough decision whether to bet the river or not. It looks likely you have UTG beat here but MP1 could well of made a flush so bet/folding the river wouldn't be a bad idea.
