Why not raise the flop?

Assuming a raise would fold the button will I win with that flop more than 25% of the time? I felt like any over card could beat me and wanted to see the turn first.

you are raising because the straight and flush draws are going to pay you all the way down.

you are also raising because you raised preflop and you had the best hand then, and you have the best hand now

And raising a blank on the turn is not going to do this?

raise the flop. you have 2 players trapped.

I dont think that a reason to raise the flop. 99 isnt exactly a monster you wanna trap with.

Scott,

If I'm looking to "trap" people with this board, and I'm the hero, I'd rather hand AX[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] than a wired pair of 9's in this situation.
