Betting the river is my preferred play.

I don't like the preflop raise at 2/4 (typically loose). I would limp with tens UTG. Post flop, I would keep betting until I got raised.

I would have limped under the gun with the nines. I think you were correct to keep betting, as one would tend to think that an ace would have raised you. I would not call a raise.

You're giving up a lot by limping with TT.

I would continue to bet this hand the whole way through. If someone had trip aces you would have heard from them at some point.

You can get away with raising 9-9 UTG at a lot of games, but some you can't. Guess this is one of them.

I like the raise PF, bet the river also.

UTG? I don't think so. I'm playing it for set value in a loose game. I'm not looking to play it 3-4 way out of position. HEPFAP recommends limping with JJ UTG if the game is loose.

HEPFAP recommends limping with JJ UTG if the game is loose.

That advice is meant for game conditions that are far different from most of today's small stakes games.
